I assume:

Why programmers like cooking: You peel the carrot, you chop the carrot, you put the carrot in the stew. You don’t suddenly find out that your peeler is several versions behind and they dropped support for carrots in 4.3

For many reasons, some of them I'm sure fall into the "grass is greener" category, but tech just hasn't been very satisfying. Sure, it pays the bills and parts of it I do find interesting, but it just pales compared to how satisfying it feels to cook and serve people good food.
