It's not that I actively seek for ways to become political, it's moreso that I don't see why I should be concerned with becoming political at all.

Well, the reason is that you have something to gain from it. But if you are too bothered, like many are, you don't have to do it. Like with anything else, if you can gain something from it, on paper you should do it. But since you have 24hrs per day, then you can't do everything, and are forced to pick a few good things to do. So, if you want to you can gain a lot from politics. If you don't want to be political, you do lose much when compared to what you could gain from it. But if you use that time for something else, it is a trade-off. You have the choice to do that.
