Why not just turn it around, and say how come history's most celebrated and accomplished people by and large did have kids - how come these people couldn't do what they did AND have kids.
I can pull almost any meaningful person's name out of a hat and I bet odds are better that they had kids than not.
Banting, Best, Einstein, and Suzuki. There's the first four that came to my mind, and they all had kids.
Let's pick four more:
Marie Curie - yep
Alexander Graham Bell - yep
Guglielmo Marconi - yep
Gandhi - yep
You had some musicians and artists on your list, here's 4 off the top of my head, as fast as I can name them so I don't think about it:
Yo Yo Ma - yes
Hendrix - yes
Van Halen - yes
Wes Montgomery - yes

Damn, I was hoping Suzuki was on the "did not have kids" list.
