I would agree that technically can wait, just like I can afford to wait to watch the newest Avatar movie, or wait to find a new job even though I'm at the recommended time to job hop to maximize salary gains (2 years), or how I waited a long, long time to first buy Bitcoin (I remember seeing it priced at $7/coin). But there might be some benefits to not waiting, and some opportunities that are available now that might not be available later. Like for me it's already saving me time in development and helping generate ideas for my board game designs that have been stuck, in some cases, for a long time. I would agree that you shouldn't be beating yourself up for not learning it right away and think you're in trouble if you don't learn it immediately. But it might be worth looking into anyway.
