Does anyone just play the Cello for fun?

So recently I have had an itch to pick up a musical instrument. I have no musical background or knowledge what so ever. Honestly though, just looking at all the options has been fun.

I am not going to lie, I really really like how the Cello sounds. I live in a townhouse, work more than 40 hours a week and have a family. So the Cello is wildly impractical for me.

It did make me wonder though does anyone play the Cello as a hobbyist? Seems like everything I see with it is on a big stage, professional, or school related.
