"Still, none of them changed the world or did anything groundbreaking"
Sure they did! They contributed to your coming into being :)
That's the thing though, information about famous artists, writers, musicians, etc. is generally easily accessible while there is little literature to chronicle the lives of my relatives, so there's more mystery there. Even so, I'm more interested in the everyday mundanity that is life in different decades - I relate more :)

...but I'm not remarkable. I am an average Jane who works for her money and has a good time, but that's not interesting, let alone groundbreaking. I don't care about being interesting, though. Too much work.
I relate to everyday life too, but just because I relate to something that doesn't mean it will interest me if I read about it. I would much rather read about Picasso than my great-great-great Uncle Pierre. Nothing against Pierre, but Picasso lived a life that broke the mold. Pierre...had kids and lived in Minnesota. Yup.

To each their own :)
Obviously I don't expect what interests me to interest everyone else. I'm just here to represent for those who'd rather learn about great-great-great uncle Pierre :)

Heh-heh...I pretty much told you all there is to him. Grandma says he was a nice guy.
Your viewpoint is just as valid as mine, so it's all good.
