Do emotionally unavailable exes ever regret breaking up or were they just never in it in the first place?

Yes, but it's usually a selfish kind of "oh crap, I miss the stuff she did for me", not an actual developed appreciation for you

I asked my emotionally unavailable / commitment phobe ex this a month after we broke off a LTR and he said “not sure. Not sure I’ll ever know”. So I don’t think he’ll ever come to the realization of what he walked away from. And that makes me feel a lot more at peace with this break up.

... or, he just wanted to not hurt your feelings. ‘It’s not you, it’s me’ sort of thing... why do you care? Move on and don’t look back to people who didn’t feel the same a put you!

Yes they do but it’s rare and never plan your life around it. Mine came back and we are happy now but so many friends of mine have been burned by something similar

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
