Not really. It more comes down to the hobby and whatever else is going on at the time. Otherwise it can vary person to person. Most sports fans have been fans since they were kids, and it pretty much follows them their entire lives, so clearly many people keep that passion. Then you have other people who burn out of stuff pretty quickly.

Plus there's the loose affiliation of hobbies. For example, a lot of people who have long-term hobbies might not do it do consistently. Does it even count at that point? And do the specifics matter? I bought but effectively quit Pokemon Shield and LG!P before getting too far into them, but I'm still playing Pokemon Go so even though I'm not active on one side of the franchise I'm still playing on the other side. And technically there were gaps in playing the games between generations (DPP up until I started PG in 2017 where I wouldn't necessarily be constantly playing Pokemon games when a new one wasn't out, although I did replay FRLG quite a few times) when I kinda wasn't doing anything with the franchise despite being a fan. Granted, could Pokemon even be referred to as a hobby? I don't even know. I've used entertainment for examples, but those might not actually qualify as hobbies.

And in general, I don't think it's a matter of that silly overdramatic "leaving you jaded and unfulfilled as you continue to try to reignite the spark" as it is people quitting hobbies or semi-quitting hobbies at time and coming back to them.
