It's the most "beautiful", and It's the most "pure" are probably reasons 99 and 100 on a list of priorities when choosing why a beginner should learn a language. Those reSons are reasons for people instilling why others want then to learn that language, not why it's the best for them to learn.

"It's the most pure" is a perfectly good reason to learn a language if you are trying to learn the concept about what the language is pure.

Of course, that completely flies in the face of an education system oriented towards training hordes of non-thinking peons into start positions at the job market. So, yes, it's not for everybody.
