Does it apply for to all instruments? Does it come from style, personality, accuracy, articulation, dexterity, dynamics, technique, etc? What about the swing (not as in sytle but, as in controlled micro-latencies or delays)? So how could someone learn to play the grooves? Does it apply for to all instruments?

The word Groove actually comes from Slang. Ordinarily, it means having great satisfaction or enjoyment. More musically, you start to feel the music; you nod your head in appreciation; your body starts to move to the rhythm (it's not dancing). Listeners would appreciate the music more if it has got a groove. For this to happen, musicians must learn to play the grooves. It is not just playing music, it is playing better music! I care!
