I make alts because I love trying new races and classes, but also love crafting stories for these people I'm putting out in the world of Tamriel.
I've never done 100% of anything on any one toon, that helps to keep things interesting.

For me, this is what it is. These people show up in my head, tell me who they are, where they came from, demand that I play them. Sometimes they insist on certain gear and mount, sometimes I give them what I have until I find something they like better.
Each girl does quests that fit her backstory and her "self". No one does all of anything - not even my mains. There's enough game to cover as many alts as keep turning up....

This. I have one of each class, ideally two of each so I can make all of the 4 specs (heal, mag dps, stam dps, tank) using armory if I so wish, but most importantly... because they haunt my brain until I make them.

ESO has a low barrier to entry for a new character comparatively, and that barrier has only gotten lower through the years. Which is great! I like playing all the classes, multiple builds.
It's especially helped for PvP to better understand how to play against other classes. For example, playing nightblade has really helped my sense of where they want to go when they use cloak.
For PvE, it's helped the content be less repetitive. Doing vMA on magden was totally different than playing it on a melee magDK, which felt like much more of a glass cannon. It was sorta the same as playing on mag necromancer, surprisingly.
