I see that all the time. Some students are stimulated by subjects that others find so totally boring. I was an assoc prof for 6 years and it was amazing how different subjects could just set people off like a light switch. Others needed to be jabbed with a sharpe stick to get them to do the studies they needed to get by. Who knows, human nature I guess.
