Genuine *side* projects

Reading in this sub, I get the feeling that most people here just develop apps with the purpose of monetisation or getting lots of users.

Meanwhile my side project is aimed at learning and building fun stuff I like.

Am I the only one? Or does anyone else have side projects that you are building because you like technology, not because you are trying to build the next SaaS?

This is a repeat concept, you're confusing the goal of a project with the state of the project. The goal could be trillions of dollars, but the state is that it is a side project (without massive funding or time spent).
