“for the love of the game”, hahahaha, good one. Sure. We all do… No, seriously, after playing for a couple of decades, music has become my only religion and I am a fucking fanatic. Shut up, infidels! I’m serious. But I was a young, good looking bastard of a guitar player once and I confess, I had the morals of a hungry beagle… I better shut up ‘n’ play my guitar.
I treat it like orthodox religious prayer, keep it to myself and only practice in the home. Only converse about it with other practitioners, because evangelists are the worst. It’s an addiction more than anything, if you’re doing it right. At this point I need to shred and connect every phrase of the Phrygian in triplets up and down and back and forth just to stave off the shakes and feel normal. And by normal, I mean fuckin’ rad.

Well, why do you think birds are singing? Humans are singing for very similar reasons - and let’s just not talk about playing the guitar…

As someone who plays guitar for the love of the game, I just think it’s neat, guitarists are douchebags, as a general rule.
It’s like Big Tugg said, not everyone who plays guitar is a douchebag, but every douchebag does own a guitar.
