That's exactly the mentality I'm talking about. You're heavily biased in favor of kanji study. Not all other people are the same way. There are people that just literally don't accept the idea that there are enough benefits to RTK to justify the time expense.
There's not even necessarily a good reason for believing that, just like there's not necessarily a good reason for believing that RTK is vital. Personal reasons aren't that important when both paths clearly work. There's plenty of room for purely subjective decisions here.
On the flip side, you'll never have to justify using RTK to me. I'll just nod my head and go back to doing recognition for kanji to on'yomi rather than doing recall for keywords to writing.
