I'm currently studying and trying to learn the russian language and I think this argument is a bit of a straw man. I don't think people in general would suggest you're evil for learning a language. Obviously you would find such people on Twitter or Reddit but not in the real world I don't believe

just like sometimes we prefer to reason on limits rather than on concrete values, I believe some straw mans are "useful limits" to reason about some concepts
