I think it'd be more accurate to say that most people haven't yet found something to be obsessively interested in. Although the child prodigy is a popular image, I don't actually know anyone who's ended up doing the same thing all their life since they were young. People bounce around a lot before they hit something that clicks. Sometimes it's at 15, sometimes it's at 50. Even people who have obsessive interests today first went through their boring phases, too.
