I know what you mean, so here’s what I hope is some motivation. There’s tonnes of tesuji just waiting in those joseki. Actually most of the tesuji might only pop up if somebody deviates from the joseki, but that’s part of the fun 
Like imagine somebody deviates with from the small avalanche with s17 rather than r18 and the outside shape is bad so they answer s15 with r14 and then wham, tesuji (at some point) to capture the corner.
I think I just really like seeing cool moves
