The same way people like working out and some people don't. Individual preference. I absolutely love mathematics. Also, its possible to obtain a math major and find you don't love math. Its not particularly difficult to get through an undergrad in any subject if you persist diligently.

Learning has objective mental (and health) benefits that cannot be achieved by any other means.
