For example, I’m sure the average joe doesn’t know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.

PSA: This is only true if you value your labor at $0.
Also only true if you were going to spend that money on that keg anyway.
Similar to “I saved 50% on these leggings!” That’s only true if you were already going to buy the leggings anyway.
If it was a purely cost saving venture, that would be a fair point. But it’s a hobby, I don’t view it that way. The process is fun and once you get past just making kits, the creative aspect is pretty rewarding.
If I’m going to look at literally any of my hobbies in terms of whether it’s worth my time, there’s very few things that are worth doing. Should I not brew beer or build furniture or make bread because in my day job I get paid more than it would cost to just buy things? What would I fill my time with?
Only if you’re trying to sell it, otherwise you just are paying your time to enjoy something you like doing
