So you have never done passion projects just to keep your skills up and stay familiar with an ecosystem?

No, not really. I've done passion projects for things I have a passion for, but not for keeping my skills up.

Well many people do. Like Casey, I did a pivot from pure software development to a job that pays much more given my skillset and interest. But is much more of a niche.

I keep an active open source profile just so I can pivot back to pure software development if needed. Casey likely makes more as a podcast host than he would make in corp dev as a mobile developer. Before that he was a .Net developer.
