I feel like it would be better to phrase that as you found them uninteresting.
Or did you mean they are un-interesting in a way most of society would say someone is uninteresting. Like they aren’t interesting because they don’t follow sports or TV shows? Or they only talk about work or kids? Those people can still be interesting, just to different types of people.
They may not be interested in being interesting for other people?
I take issue with describing Josephus as a part of the ‘losing’ side. Josephus had defected and was working as an interpretor for Titus while Titus was conducting the seige on Jerusalem in 70 AD. He took on the Roman emperor’s family name, Flavius. He firmly sits on the ‘winning’ side, with the Romans.
Plus later on Christian’s were the ones copying his books, not Jews, since he was viewed as a turncoat by his own people. So his books were preserved by the ‘winning’ side as well.
Not saying he should be completely disregarded or written off as a historian, just that he wasn’t part of any ‘losing’ side of history.
I think not having it recorded in any way is worse. At least if something is recorded you can examine and study and compare the accounts to get an inkling of what may have actually happened or see where the truth has been stretched.

Yeah, that’s prime schadenfreude for me personally.
