In a serious take: I don’t birdwatch but have accepted a few invites to go. It’s not bad.

You’re outside, first of all, and you have a reason to disconnect from the bad news machine in your pocket. You engage your senses and combine it with just the right amount of focus. You’re listening and looking and paying attention but it’s not an adrenaline dump into your brain. And then if you do it right, you see this whole little animal that maybe you never saw or noticed before but that shares this planet with you, doing its own thing. And that’s cool. It’s some time using our senes the way they evolved over millennia to be used. 
 

I think you can get the same experience hunting or fishing or hiking or almost anything that motivates you to go touch grass, literally. 

You're not wrong, but it's possible to have multiple hobbies. I go hiking a lot with my dogs as well as playing games and doing other things that force me to socialize/touch grass.

Addictive things are only problematic if you don't practice moderation.
