It is a deep and harmful misunderstanding that learning should be fun. It rarely is. Learning should be meaningful.

If you learn to learn based on fun most of your actual learning will be less successful.

If you spend your whole life actively exploring and learning about the things that truly interest you, learning will be fun and successful. I find learning to be inherently pleasant. I see your point only if when you are required to learn uninteresting things.

Most relevant things that we have to learn in real life, like how to do taxes, brush shoes, write a glossary to a PhD thesis, clean a clogged pipe, deploy a Python app on MacOS, change diapers, solve integrals, review bad conference papers are neither fun nor interesting.
