Teaching helps sharpen your own understanding. Great ideas can often crystalize around a new voice going "but why?" I'm only mediocre at teaching myself, though, so take it with a grain of salt.
I'm a fairly experienced teacher (8 semesters at college level, couple of online things) but only rarely have been motivated/engaged enough in the process to be more than mediocre at it. I generally need a stronger motive than simply being invested in students' learning/growing.

Yeah that's not enough motive for longer than 1-2 days at most. Even there it's tough. I've made pretty big money in 1-day workshops several times, but even there, I was interested for reasons beyond money.

Not to discount your experience, but I would count eight semesters as “just getting started”, not “fairy experienced.” And it sounds like it’s not for you. It wasn’t for me either.

Learning to communicate the same things over again in new ways so that the ones who don't get it, can. Good practice for coming up with interesting metaphors.

That's a consequentialist take. Mine is more simply deontological: it simply doesn't inspire me enough. I don't care about outcomes/risks as much. I just like doing whatever I do with a decent degree of interest/engagement. I don't like simply going through the motions.
