I think it definitely does, depending on the person. Many, many attributes of the person change over time. That's what growth and evolution is about!
Some people take a career path where they become expert at a narrow topic. As they master their field, I think they lose a lot of curiosity because there's simply less to be curious about unless they're on the forefront of research and not just a practitioner.
Other people simply develop other life priorities.

It's 100% an individual thing.
