I disagree - I bought the Polar knowing very little about subtractive synthesis and the ability to look at what the settings are on patches has taught me so much about what parameters change what types of sound instead of blindly fumbling in the dark - the ability to buy a professional sound set and have a look at those sounds/edits as well is worth the price of admission alone.
Consider it the same way you would a piano lesson - a bit of money, for the ability to pick up new information you likely would not learn on your own.
Also it seems to me a fair few people post music on the forums, perhaps you just dont notice.
