This is true, but becomes a lot less relevant when you're playing in Huh's league. It's not that easy to make a move even from theoretical high-energy physics to pure mathematics. You can read about some interesting success stories in Quanta, but I think most people who try this end up leaving academia. There's a large cultural gap they have to cross, and most will never integrate enough to survive the job market.
