I love cats. Sometimes I don't want them bothering me, and sometimes they don't want me bothering them. I think certain types of people are more into the personalities of cats and others more into how dogs are. I don't need the constant companion.
But at the same time, it's bizarre that your cat is that aloof. Mine often don't respond to their names, but sometimes too. They don't always play with toys I get them but they sometimes do. They love treats and recognize the sound of the bag. They love lasers and get excited when they hear that specific keychain that's attached to it. I don't take any of them outside, but I had a cat who loved getting walks outside and ran to the door as soon as he saw me get the leash.
