I agree, been wondering about that for four decades
Yet I know people who are bored silly when they're not working, with zero motivating interests; that aspect has been a complete mystery to me.
By the way, to add a pertinent Allium note to this topic, with the maturing of The Plant List (TPL), accurate approximation of species count in a large genus such as Allium is becoming more meaningful. Depending on how one displays the list of species in TPL, there can be a genus summary at the bottom, here's the updated summary for Allium. I've been testing this with recently published species, takes TPL a while to catch up, so there remains a number of valid species names still missing, including Allium dumanii. The genus Allium is about ~1000 taxa.
