It doesn't. Author learned them because they made plugins and complex custom commands. The configuration language allows embedding shell scripts but Kakoune provides a POSIX interface so can use whatever language you want for plugins. Regexes are needed to be productive utilizing the full extend of text manipulation provided. Can do without but you miss a big reason for using Kakoune in first place.
