Why are different kinds of learning so differently compressible?
If I can work through a textbook in 20 1-hour sittings, I usually get similar results from 10 2-hour or 5 4-hour sessions. But piano isn’t that way at all: a 20x1hr piece simply can’t be learned in 5 sessions IME.

That’s very interesting! There are probably some significant working memory limitations as a result. I’ve been playing piano most of my life, but I still don’t read a staff as easily now as I was able to read sentences as a teenager.
