This is only opinion here, but I agree with Telmo because we as a species
require and roi, a return on investment, for a few good reasons. 1) We all like
money or free stuff, or both.2) In case robots make everyone unemployed.3) We
need longer term goals to ensure human survival. So we require better longer
term projects.
The vagueness of Alice & BoB will eventuate in something tasty someday, But not
today.

I can only speak for myself but all else being equal if given the choice
between a task that has a chance of accomplishing something and a task that can
only lead to a dead end then I would choose the one that might actually achieve
something, even if that achievement is just an abstract understanding of
something with no practical value.
If you choose, try to lose
for the loss of remain come and start
Start the game
I chi-chi, chi-chi I
chi-chi-chi, ka-ta-ko, choose to choose
choose to choose, choose to go
