Those are career people. They are just career researchers.
People mostly only accept the extremely shitty working conditions of the research industry if they have at least one of a lot of passion, extreme egomania, or independent wealth. Preferably more than one. Most of the people doing a research career do at least start out with a lot of passion.

I’ll get into research when it pays better (likely never).

its was 85% boring work and 15% interesting work. You cant just ignore the foundational work and that stuff doesnt just handle itself.
