I don’t get the Balatro addiction stuff. It’s a good game, but after you’ve played it a few times it gets boring. Sure, “number go up” but it’s like people have never played a video game before. There’s so many Skinner boxes that, at least for me personally, it becomes numbing. I also don’t easily get sucked into other manipulative addicting things in other games though, so maybe it’s just something wrong with me.
What makes you continue playing Balatro after you’ve “figured it out?”

For me it’s 2 things :
Making a deck that works so well that it crushes everything.
Getting shit cards and making it works.
The first one gets me hooked, the second one keeps me going. It takes a long time to figure it out, as you put it.
I find it fun
