      Umm, there are regularly coding race events here where I live…

      Coding can be hobby as well, you know.

      Not all of this world is pure capitalism, some have some free time doing stuff they want how they want.

      Coding is not my profession (right now)

        Coding is a team sport bcz it takes a lot of people to maintain large complex systems, has nothing to do with capitalism. Hell, I make video games in my spare time, and can barely manage a half asked attempt at a game for fun when working alon (unless I want to spend a lot of time on it). Alternatively, I can make a decently playable game with a few more people helping me. Coding is just a lot of work if you want to make anything substantial, just how it is.
