It's not impossible that 95% of the universe is boring.

2% of the human body is the brain, and while poetry is written about other body parts, the brain is the one doing all the writing.

Atoms are something like 0.05% electrons, but the interactions and behavior of the electrons account for almost all of the interesting parts, and with notably rare exceptions, the nuclei might as well be point charge/masses.

Just because there is a lot of dark matter and dark energy doesn't mean it will be particularly interesting in the long run.

Just in mass. In volume(orbitals), electric charge, importance for chemistry, the proportions are way different.

I mean, that's my point. There's nothing to say it won't be very interesting. We just don't know yet.
