As Sworra says, practice makes perfect! There are plenty of reasons to paint; It covers up marks that remain after the nubs have been removed, you can make the kit look more detailed and you can paint it any colours of the spectrum! Well, I'm not sure if
every colour is available as paint...

Yeah, people should have a go with an older HG or FG to try out painting

Hand brushing is fun, but hard to master. Spray painting is still fun and pretty easy to master, and airbrushing... I can't answer that because I don't have a proper airbrush, I have an airgun though but it's kind of hard to use because of cleaning and I have to use a propellant can.
I also like making my kits look more realistic as well, with decals, weathering, adding mechanical details! The possibilities are endless!
Also one more thing, it encourages you to buy less gunpla, it can satisfy the thirst for more! Well I guess that's more than I intended to say, but happy gunpla building!
