(hostility aside...) I never said my work was perfect, but that I do take delight in polishing work that is more than passable. I can't be the only one here who likes to optimize their work in their free time.

But you did say you have a sense of perfectionism.

And of course your work isn’t perfect. There’s no such thing as perfect work.

So either you get comfortable being done with things when they are done or you get comfortable with doing extra unpaid work because you delight in spending your time making things more than passable.

Which one would you prefer? It’s 100% up to you.
