It's an indicator to the amount of time one has spent on coping and accepting the inconvenient truth about their past hobbies that they fervently lie to themselves and others about. It's not a mystery to anybody else why they immediately switch interests after finally reaching stability to 'do the thing they've always wanted to have time to do' and glorified multiple years of their adolescence engaging in: they aren't interested in it as much anymore, or were never actually that interested in it. It's weird that they'll always be the last to figure it out.
