I think you hit the nail in the head here, and I'd also say that this is true for pretty much anything that is bloggable today (e.g financial advice, recipes, product reviews) and is a consequence of mass social media making people addicted to getting attention.

I’ve had a personal homepage for almost 20 years, and I’ve never looked at the traffic logs. I am certain I could learn what people care to read about, where people link from, and so on, but a big part of me likes that it’s my page and not my visitors’. It’s just a museum of quirky personality, this is not a potential revenue stream, and I’m not a “content creator”.
