I knew someone like this too. It’s mystifying to me how someone could practice for years without ever improving, I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t hear them practicing nearly every day lol
My violin teacher called it practicing without ambition. Every time you practice, you’re supposed to criticize yourself and constantly compare yourself to better players so that you can strive to master a specific part of playing. In a healthy way, of course. Otherwise, you can “practice” for fifty years and still never learn anything.
