> And “nobody else cares” shouldn’t be a _major_ part of that argument.
I disagree. Nobody else caring is a strong indication the skill isn't that valuable. If nobody else cares and he can't see a reason to care himself then why would he decide it's a skill he wants to put time into improving?
Tbh it sounds like your son has considered the merits and decided it's not a skill worth working on. You just disagree.

Hmmm didn't think about it that way. Definitely a more practical approach.
Agreed. I have limited time in my day. If I spent too much on things nobody else cared about, I would be wasting a lot of time.
This would translate to other more important tasks not getting done.
I think you've taken it too far—it's not just that others don't care for it but that he also doesn't. Doing something that you care about but others don't isn't necessarily a waste of time.
