Laugh? That's the optimistic scenario.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

You could bid 4NT, but you will indeed bid 3NT with a very large range.

I guess people find it more important to get to the right game than to have a quantitative slam auction after a preempt. Does that make sense to you?

Yes...makes sense to just try for the right game, and that is what I've observed now, but 20 years ago, I was taught differently as I recall most people at my club played double followed by a jump as a monster hand. However, one rarely holds that good of a hand.
