Because it's the body's natural reaction to calorie deficits.
occasionally, but it doesn't scratch the same itch for me. I've enjoyed as ANW moved away from the climbing-type obstacles and towards the gymnast/acrobat type obstacles. The climbing ones never look effortless.
I like Ninja Warrior, a sport that is functionally an obstacle course for insane gymnasts. Every time I watch, I notice how much easier it is to be good at things. It's not just that good technique needs less strength for a given move. It's that arm strength gets you off obstacles faster, which conserves precious finger strength.. Ninjas that are good at linking moves conserve momentum instead of needing to rebuild it, further saving upper body and finger strength.
E.g. Max vs. Taylor in the finals (start at 12:48). Keep in mind that Taylor is the top contender for best female ninja, so she's not suffering from technique issues.
Or take Hades, a beat-em-up in which you receive power-ups throughout the game. Some of the powerups make you better at hurting enemies, some give you more hit points. Sometimes you get a choice of power-up. If you're constantly being hit, you want the hit points. But if you're good enough at dodging you don't need them and can get an offensive power instead, which will let you kill enemies faster and get hit even less.

Some people think drugs like retatrutide have an effect on motivation [...]
Is there a reason you frame this as motivation and not energy? There's a solid mechanistic reason to expect more energy.
I mix cricket, whey, or liver powder into smoothies. You don't need a lot to 80/20 the benefits.
Your own screenshot shows that pescatarians do better than vegans (not statistically significant, but neither is the difference between vegans and omnivores). And if you break it down by sex (and continue to ignore statistical significance), veganism is the worst choice for women after unconstrained omnivorism

This just isn't true. I've had medical emergencies and supported friends through emergencies where someone really did need to pick up right away. They're rare, but you do need a system that can handle them.
