In 2017/2018 there wasn't anyone doing these styles of podcasts. Easy to carve out a niche focusing on intellectuals with a bit of a focus in CEO, tech, health, whatever.
The uncompelling nature of these guys is a feature not a bug - they are a neutral mask for the listener.

I think what it comes down to is that Fridman and Bartlett entered early in the long form podcast genre.
Joe Rogan may have been the first to do it - just freeform hours long guest interviews - but his focus is on MMA, comedians, and occasionally more intellectual or pseudo-intellectual types.
