The leisure flying community is far more varied and interesting than you're suggesting.
Don't recall that suggestion
The OP asked about training for an EASA PPL and then was advised to take up gliding because apparently all powered flying instruction isn't conducted properly and inferior to gliding skills.
To add insult you consider powered flying is akin to "driving a bus". Like the same A320 Bus's that take you to Benidorm.
If I asked where to learn how to get a M/C licence I presume you would think I should buy a push-bike as it is a far superior skill set I would get, and a much more interesting and varied thing to do on two wheels.
Thats my lot with this well drifted thread..
