I think there’s value in talking extensively to 15 people and writing a paper reflecting on their different human experiences. The paper even handily posits a hypothesis on the role of boredom in everyone’s life.

I too think there can be more value in an in-depth study of a relatively small number of people over another study on the same subject that asks a few thousand people to respond to just a few superficial questions.
