And you still don't get it, it is not puttering around on a weighted bike, it is going out and experiencing new places, camping or not and having fun in the outdoors. Sometimes you meet really cool people or have memorable experiences that you cannot get on a normal ride to the store and back or race on the MUP. It is like backpacking by bike, in fact these days they have bikepacking. If you truly don't love camping and riding a bicycle and experiencing new things then yes touring is probably not for you but if you haven't tried it you could be missing out and it might make you a more rounded individual.
