I thought the same as you. But I think not developing those skills will come back and bite you at some point.

For instance your point about: > reading a map to get around (GPS)

After reading the above it dawned on me that the human brain needs to develop spatial awareness and not using that capability of the brain very slowly shuts it off. So I purposefully turn off the gps when I can.

I think not fully developing each of those abilities might have some negative effects that will be hard to diagnose.
