Some Devs I work with want to dabble with many tools and solve problems by picking (or creating) a new tool rather than learning how to solve problem with existing tool. They learn, and are talking about (and trying to get team to adopt) other languages all the time.
Personally, I want to totally master a small number of tools. (perhaps just my inability to master many). So, it's not that I find it hard to learn new lang. It's I'm unwilling to waste effort on it unless there is advantage. And to overcome the mastery I have attained after 25 years of Python that advantage has to be large. [btw Past langs include VisualBasic, Pascal, PHP, C, C++, and PERL. But only PERL did I use long enough for mastery]
Neither is obviously better/correct. Like I said, it depends on how the developer best works.
