why is it harder to find exciting macro JMCs than it is to find them in other fields?
Frontier in macro is so far away from PhD courses that even a lot of students who want to specialize in macro never get there. You need an advisor at the frontier to lead you there, else you're going to end up fiecked.
Compare to most other fields where pushing the frontier is finding/constructing/purchasing a novel dataset.

Um. Hate to break it to you, but frontier in macro nowadays also involves using novel data.
