Why is it so much more amusing to watch someone play a video game than it is to play the game itself?

I'm old now. I've finally realised I get more enjoyment from watching someone play than to actually play the game. Why is that? Do you experience that as well?

As the youngest sibling I grew up watching my brother play games. From super mario on nes to ocarina and later quake before I started to get any good (and not scared of everything). So maybe watching some streamers reminds me of when I’d just sit back hugging a pillow watching my brother and his friends play
