Because they're interesting?

Sure. Some people would pursue such studies for those reasons. But they're probably be pretty unhappy in those fields unless they were extremely independent. And maybe a bit masochistic. <g> There are always a handful of contrarians, of course. But you'd never get a critical mass.
