Thinking of wisdom like food is a good analogy. But there are no "hunger pangs" when we starve for wisdom and no direct dopamine release when we consume wisdom (without training). The reward of wisdom is a better and happier life, and may take weeks / months to reveal its benefits unlike the immediate pleasure of eating. So few people care about it because it takes vision and patience, and does not reveal itself immediately.
More or less, people generally don't seek wisdom because they have poor vision for the future.
