I'm an engineer, I'm a curious person. Why does it follow that I need to take 30 mins to create a snake-oil wallet? I'm curious sure, but mostly curious as to why someone thinks a hash to a public url of a gif of a catatonic monkey has any value at all let alone 6 figures.

That's being skeptical, not curious. Also a good quality, but not the one the OP is talking about.

Curious does not require one to act recklessly. I'm a curious person but I'm not going to eat cat poop on the off chance that it is tasty.

nobody is saying anything about eating poop, just exploring and testing a technology without investing large sums of money in it. (Yes, that's possible)
