I can see the point of using Field Day to expose non-contesters to
contesting. But, I don't get that much pleasure, myself, from operating
in Field Day. I operate in other contests if I want to beat last year's
score, become a better operator, or improve my station.

Mine Personally,
Is two reasons. Mainly try to beat last years scores, by being a
better operator, and building better stations.
And getting people that never have tried contesting at all or even
the Contest haters to actually get on and do it. 9 out of 10 when
they finally actually do it. LOVE it.

To me it's a "ham radio picnic". A weekend spent with friends doing
something you all enjoy. Old guys playing like boys, new guys
getting infused with the fun of operating; a sort of gathering of the
tribe.
That's me.
But it's like the story of the 5 blind men describing an elephant.
Each of us will have a different view, and in the context of their
individual experience and "ham radio world view", each is equally valid.
So tell me Joe, why do you do Field Day?

A simple Question,
Why do you, your group, or your Club, why do you do Field Day?
