I can say the same about programming languages. I'm reluctant to learn a new programming language because I don't want to spend time learning the library, the syntax, and any other intricacies. All I want is that one cool feature that X language has that Y doesn't.

How about just talk to others? That's been my main motivation.

Some people want to know those rules, they end in linguistic courses.

Learning a language, learning programming, learning any craft is almost always done with a goal other than the learning itself.
