For me it's because there's more "fun" thought-experiment-type stuff (to be polite about it). Which to be clear is a step below potential-future or something theoretical like the Fermi-paradox or other unknowns. Though the titles and thumbnails don't help, if you click on one of the what-if videos (like How to Win an Interstellar War with the thumbnail saying World War Alien) you may see other similar topics (like more serious talks on the Fermi paradox) and be inclined to think they are the same type of what-if takes.

I expect explanations of viruses, stars, ants, civilization etc. not "You're in a coma, please wake up. Sam please, WAKE UP!"
