Why does highschool tell students why math is useful, but not why it can be fun and interesting? It's like the "math is a chore" meme infected the teachers too. Has the education system failed in that regard?

because all the fun math is too advanced for high school

Yes

I had a teacher who tried the "math is fun" stuff, but most people would mostly shrug it off and keep chatting in their cell phones whenever she tried to convince us with talk no jutsu.
I really liked her and the other applied students did too because she really worked on her classes and was legitimately concerned about her students.

But normies just don't care about any of it. They just want to fuck, consume and get decent enough grades so they don't get grounded for being lazy pieces of shit.

I tip my fedora hard on this

Because you can't force people to have fun.

Being a senior in high school right now, I can relate to this. Atleast I'm in an engineering program where I actually do useful math.

Give students a taste of it through videos/demonstrations or something, so they know what could come next if they don't just aim for a passing 60%?

Maddox talks alot about how you should look into discrete mathematics and that it should be the first thing ANYONE learns for math. I dunno. Now that you asked. I'm gonna look that up on KhanAcademy and see if I feel enriched as a result.

Calc is really fucking fun for early math

All the crazy shit you can start to do and it has plenty of IRL applications.
