How come they just do contract work and produce no animated content of their own?

They do, but what you really mean is “why aren’t they as productive as Japan”, the answer to that is mainly genetic but also all their national will to power is currently spent on making phones.

As I understand it, Koreans will do contract animation if they can make money from it, but they tend to regard cartoons as being juvenile so they don't produce anything of their own.

Their animation industry is only targeted for very young audiences because of financial reasons, so talented animators don't looking for jobs in Korea. There are some tryouts for new challenge. But they have been always financially failed since they tried to catch both kids and mature audiences. So movie itself turns out to be little silly for mature audience but too serious for kiddies.
Their comics market is broken because people are so get used to read comics without paying thanks to Webtoons. The only well selling printed comics are about educational ones, because Korean parents want to buy their kids books that are 'educational'
Most of the people still thinks comics and animations are shit for babies so they didn't care to do something about this situation. Yes, it sucks. I guess Japan wins this time.

This. Unless you count Kakao emojis as animation adults just don't care

short answer : the market is just not there
You 300 million ~ billions of English, Spanish speaking fuckers should appreciate just how big of a deal just the size of the seeding-plane and reaching the critical mass is.
Niche entertaintment like semi-adult-semi-children kino animation requires some breathing room for the creators and big and diverse enough market to tank some flops. We don't have that shit anymore. Arguably we never had.

Old things: Japanese ripoff
New things: Cash grabber for kids
Guess I'll have to settle for the fact they actually make good movie once or twice a year.

They don't have anyone to outsource their animation to.
