Or, it's possible that a lot of current poker players are the kind of nerds for whom figuring out GTO strategies and memorising probability tables for games is intrinsically fun, and they'd do it even if they had no intention of ever actually playing the game. In the same way that some people memorise everything about different types of train, even if they never intend on working in the railway industry, but because it tickles the right part of their brain. But I doubt it.
