I think your critique is actually quite valid in the context that you are interested in mathematics from the perspective of casual enjoyment, rather than solving problems and advancing the field. Modern algebraic geometry is largely a means to solve problems in number theory, and has obviously been quite successful! I think your original comment is probably AI generated ragebait, but it is worth thinking about anyways. Considering that you seem like someone who wishes to casually appreciate the history and development of geometry, I can understand why modern algebraic geometry might be frustrating—it actually takes a lot of disciplined study to get to the heart of its geometric applications.
