It's a hobby you enjoy doing, OP. So keep doing what you enjoy doing.
If it's some career you're after, well, you're going to have to learn to play the system and see what other people want. Don't expect to have things happen IRL the way you want them. Universities help to keep some people motivated to learn the requisite materials and prepare for the real world, but it's true that it doesn't work like that for everyone. You have to do what works best for you. And if you want to have a successful career eventually, you will have to see what problems other people want solved that have yet to be solved and see if you have what it takes to solve them. But coming up with solutions to problems that nobody else cares about because they're either irrelevant to their needs and wants or there are already better solutions out there, keep those for yourself for your own enjoyment.
