There is definitely something. Nothing to pay attention to would be a silent black screen.

Sure, technically speaking.
And if I had great interest in the minutiae of set design, or if I were a score composer interested in the exact musical instrumentation, or a director studying suspenseful timing, then sure I'd be interested.
But I'm not any of those things. I prefer to spend my time on things I'm actually interested in, rather than on things I'm not. If I can fast-forward the "not" part, it makes life better.
Well yeah but "there's nothing that interests me" vs "there's nothing to pay attention to" are very different statements.
Also you don't really need to be a composer to be able to enjoy film music during a film.
