Well, to each their own. Competition helps us face the truth about our skill and doing things outside our own interests forces us to expand our abilities and become better acquainted with parts of the program we wouldn’t normally use.
For instance, as the founder and owner of my own game dev company what I am really interested in with Blender is the ability to create good game assets. I know I will never be a great animator or cgi/vfx guy but by learning those areas of the program, I can improve my ability to design and build models for my games which people who are good at those areas can use to their best effect. And, even though “Bathrooms” have very little to do with a space game, they have a lot to do with designing and laying out effective interior environments that can be placed in a game with very little work.
