Well, that might be the case. But it's also pretty nerdy.
I have the dream of sailing around the world with a sailing ship. Having a ham radio license is a good idea as a preparation of such a trip.

there are good reasons for requiring the technical knowledge, with the privilege to use these allotted radio frequency bands comes a responsibility
the equipment that can be used can also cause problems and interference to other important radio and other equipment, understanding the tecnical side of that is important, radio theory in regard to antennas is very important as well, as well as knowledge of rf power and transmission, it is actually kind of sad too that they removed morse requirements, as that was also a good marker of entry to the commitment to getting the privilege of the license
