"I used to work part time at a shop with machineguns during the late 90's. I personally had pallets of 9mm, 45acp, ,223/556, and 7.62s whatever."
Sounds like too much fun. That must have been cool. Some people are able to light cigars with 100 dollar bills and then reality sets in and, I agree, there is satisfaction in the whole process, gathering lead/alloy, smelting, casting, reloading. I like it all. I like it simple. Will never own a 1050, not because I don't acknowledge it as something great, but because I'm perfectly happy using an hand loader or even a single stage press. I'm in no hurry. Hand prime, batch load, use dippers and simple tools. Not for everyone, but neither is black powder, flintlocks and single shots. It's all good and not everyone needs to aspire to be a virtuoso. But it sure do help to spend days/months/years studying all of it. I don't think we have to pity those who don't get it and want to buy ammunition ready to go. They have time to do other things they deem important and like.
