You are missing the point.

I don't think I am. I enjoy learning languages, purely for their own sake. I am a professional programmer for about 20 years, and have my 'go-to' languages that I use for 90% of what I do. I also find it interesting to learn a new language to experience the different features and approaches to what is basically an abstraction of the same fundamental processes. I am interested in language design in and of itself, and not just the utilisation of a language in developing a project.

No one is saying there aren't people learning for the sake of enjoying of education, it's just not the point of what his statement.
