Any problem whose interestingness is sufficiently obvious has been deeply investigated before the importance has been made legible I'm not sure if this is an alternate idea or a corollary, but: It's only by investigating interesting problems that we understand their importance.

Depends on the frame of reference. The problems non-scientists consider important are usually tackled by motivated scientists because of their interestingness to them.

And vice versus — most scientists won’t touch psychic phenomena or UFOs despite their being some of the most intensely interesting, potentially revolutionary subjects out there.

Is this about aggregation of uniqueness?

Maybe low interestingness is a way problems defend themselves from being solved. (I’m pretty sure ideas have a survival instinct)

Very possible! I.e. do the boring stuff you hate first and save the interesting stuff as a reward for later as it’s almost always not as important Aka, eat your vegetables first and then you can maybe have the candy Unrelated: Just heard my mom yelling at me in my head

If you want to compete with the most creative, driven techies in the universe, try to get a job in video games. Cuz games are interesting to build.

Interesting to who? If interesting to too many people, it's an inverse signal - truly interesting problems which are *that* accessible tend to get solved quickly. But interesting to a select group of themselves-interesting people, that's different.
