I get that too from the TR. It's insightful that the starting point is unadulterated excitement at a 'gap', a blank bit of wall and the consequent drive "I must bolt it". Quality of route is secondary.
They may of course be good routes, but for the reasons that Neil finds it difficult to get partners to do multi-pitch sport, they will very seldom get done (especially as they are quite hard). By definition sport climbers like convenient single pitch climbing. By definition also climbers who like 'adventure' and multi-pitch routes do not tend to want to follow a line of ring-bolts.
