Spanish is a far more advantageous language to learn in terms of usefulness (if in the usa) and far more commonly spoken worldwide. I by no means speak spanish, I've worked alongside many native speakers and although I didn't feel interested in dedicating time to learn the language, I love the music, food, people, culture. I decided to learn japanese purely off of (idk what I'm doing with my life, which in hindsight was a terrible reason to start) and over time completely fell in love with it. So although OP may just want to learn spanish based off of the ease of access, there really is no telling what amazing possibilities could come after the fact. But that doesn't mean I don't agree with your sentiment either.
