Curiosity about something is normal in this world and it is not pointless at all. The same happen when many people ask who is Satoshi Nakamoto, we are curious who is him, where is him, how rich is he and the discussion will never stop till they get the answer or at least a clue.
Yes although the players are hidden and most probably if the name is visible we can't say it's real one or not and everyone wants to find the answer for the same as you said only out of curiosity.We all have Sherlock inside us knocking our brains when we see something private and which is becoming a topic of discussion and we want to find the answer for the same as this is normal.
