Knowing a few PhD candidates and non-tenure track postdocs, the “younger, hungry mathematicians” are more worried about finding a damn job in the poorest job market - both academic and in industry - in a decade.

They don’t have any more patience for this.

Seems like an excellent opportunity to learn how these new proofs work and be at the frontier.

There are plenty of mathematicians who think the results are interesting. Not only do they have the "patience" you speak of, some even seem to be enjoying exploring the new results.
