It's not at all hard for me to imagine a person who tried out flying, and
perhaps even found it enjoyable enough to keep at it for awhile, but who
eventually decided there were other, more important things they needed or
wanted to do.

Most likely. But I see a lot of people who have an epiphany after they solo
and they realize the extent of training they must still do before their
qualifications are satisfactory to meet the expectations they had when they
signed up. Most people I talk to say they want to fly so they can travel.
In reality, that's a demanding, and expensive, proposition.
