Languages can be learned for the purpose of speaking for fun, buy then it gets truly interesting when you're putting the learned language to some more use cases

You are right. You never know how this kind of knowledge can be applied. At some point a few years ago I was looking for some job offers just to see what was out there, and it was a bonus knowing foreign languages (before AI became such a power player). Knowing English was a little bonus, but knowing Chinese (at that time and for that that type of jobs) would have really gotten you the job and probably a better salary too.
I wish I knew some form of Mandarin, you never could just have it as a hobby. Somehow somewhere, you can land a job, get some added benefits and all that..
It will take a good amount of time before I can learn enough to be of any use.
