While I don't think we can or should focus on a single thing, that doesn't mean we should focus on everything.

We can focus on more than one thing, but we can't focus on infinite things. We don't have infinite attention.

Investigating one thing does take away resources from being able to do other things.

There should be a name for this fallacy. I guess people struggle with it because it's one of those things where the middle is right.
