What fun is mud riding?

I have read the XMR is a special purpose ATV for "mud riding", expensive at that. It may not be as useful for trail riding, plowing snow, or general chores. I’m new to the ATV hobby. I have a question.

What is the allure of riding in deep mud? Is it particularly challenging? I see videos of folks spinning tires and the mud being thrown everywhere. I see videos of folks winching out of knee deep mud. I see ATVs totally packed with mud. It has to be hard on the machine. I plan on going around mud puddles on the trail if possible. In Minnesota, riding in a wetland is a big NO! It really tears the terrain up. A very excellent way to get an ATV trail closed for good.

So what’s the big deal with a mud pit?
