I don’t know either you or OP, and am not in either of your heads. However, from this and other things OP wrote, I suspect that this model has worked for them.
I personally prefer the aesthetic of figuring out how stuff works as a priority. And one could argue that this also gives greater practical benefits in the long run… but sometimes the “long run” is pretty long indeed.

To me these are somewhat orthogonal issues. I like cute/pretty/elegant and I like practical/functional/effective, but I’m willing to get them from different things. Of course, if something manages to combine the two, that’s great.
I’m sorry, but I’m not talking about what is useful in someone’s head. I’m referring to the best current ideas of how this really plays out in the brain. For some background, try https://sideways-view.com/2017/02/19/the-monkey-and-the-machine-a-dual-process-theory/
I’ll take “what is useful in someone’s head” over some harebrained ideas about how it really plays out any day.
Praxis is the criterion of truth :-P
Legit :-)
