While agree with this sentiment, it is important to note that many tasks in school do not enrich the student as a person and their capabilities, but are mundane and/or repetitive failures of a badly designed curriculum. I can absolutely understand why students would want to automate such exercises.
No, they do, or I should say did. Art and music are vital for motor skills and bran development. I was not allowed to take music classes and live with the sadness of not being able to play music despite wanting to, and knowing because of my age it's largely too late.
The child's brain is too malleable for you to justify not letting them be exposed to a variety of different skill sets even if they don't like them as a kid. Adults are supposed to know letting kids specialize (more accurately do the bare minimum to go back to playing video games) is a bad idea.
I don't care if you think learning is mundane. Even if it was, you have to do it anyway. Life isn't always sunshine and roses.
