I suspect that one reason is, that we get taught the opposite a lot, when growing up.
We learn one subject in school, then write a test, then forget about it.
When I think about my time in school, there was never anything I got to get "really good at".
There also was never an incentive to really see the difference between where you started and where you arrived and how much improvement was between those points.
Usually there wasn't much improvement, just "memorisation" instead of learning.

For me working out early on was a factor to develop an awareness and consciousness of what's possible today not determining what can be possible in the future. You can literally see the numbers, if you start with 5 or 10 pushups and that's it, and a while later it's already 30, that seems like an enormous gain. The biggest experience in this regard I can point to was not being able to do a single pullup at all, but then trying one every day. It took only a week until I could do a full one. 6/
