I agree with pretty much everything you said, but the only reason why I built (and currently rebuilding) a portfolio website is because, I find it fun and take it as any other projects and take as an opportunity to learn new things. The next iteration will focus more on my technical writing skills because I will write the whole process behind each of my personal projects.
I only made the first version of my portfolio a few months in my first dev job, without the intention of leaving, it's just another fun project in my eye.
Taking a portfolio website as learning opportunity to improve CSS or HTML or get to know something like Gatsby is totally valid of course. Too many people are out as mandatory for the job hunt unfortunately. But I'd you approach it like this you'll definitely benefit from it
