This was an incredible interesting read, thanks for sharing. I actually fear that this is a generalized problem with subjects in school, it's not math alone that suffers from this. I remember being asked to learn by hearth poems that I didn't even like, making me hating poetry in general. Or even art, just a bunch of names and artworks to learn and memorize characteristics and whatnot. I enjoyed math and physics, but I realize now it was because I was good with algebraic manipulation rather than proper understanding. And I rather struggled later at University studying physics indeed.

Indeed it is, sadly. But I'm very glad you got to read this paper, and get thoughts from it! The more people see things this way, the closer we are to changing the education system for the better.
