How is this scary? It's like observing that I don't have enough time to write a comprehensive treatise on every German speaking philosopher of the 19th and 20th century. I obviously don't, I probably could barely complete even one at this point. My life is not any better or worse due to this.

Assuming you had an interest in writing a comprehensive treatise on German philosophy, not being able to complete it in one lifetime would strike many people as frightening. It’s one of those numbers that forces you to consider your own mortality, like those charts showing how many weeks there are left assuming you live to be 80 years old.

Frightening how? I'll probably die in about 2000 weeks plus or minus. So what.

I don't know about you, but I'd be pretty frightened at the thought of having to spend 2000 more weeks being stalked by an infinite horde of Chinese people trying to say hello. It's just not how I'd want to live my life.
