I used to do the same thing. I have spent countless hours on XDA-Developers forums back in the day. I used to be the same way with my personal PC's. Now I just don't care enough to spend the time on it.
About 10 years ago, Nokia released the N-Gage gaming phone. Within a week of having a demo unit at my office, I had phone rooted, all the games downloaded & stored on an SD card and the phone unlocked. Once the phone was discontinued, my kids inherited the demo unit that I "liberated." The hours spent by my kids and myself playing Tony Hawks Underground and Tiger Woods were ridiculous. 10 years later, I still have the phone and it works like a champ. I actually played a couple of holes on Tiger Woods a few weeks ago.
