I spend less than a few minutes with mine every day. Sometimes I never see her at all. Hamsters are not social animals and are also hardly domesticated so they do not require interaction with you. Syrians are the most friendly and will likely appreciate having you around. Smaller hamster species are less domesticated and are less likely to want you around. We call these “ghost” hamsters because they will only come out when you are gone. Mine will tolerate minimal interaction, but even some days she gets skittish when touched. A lot of hamsters have trauma from being mishandled so sometimes it’s just better to not push them. I’d rather have her happy than make her uncomfortable for my own enjoyment
