Did I claim that you are obligated to?
You certainly don't need to be able to. Worse, you may not even be able to see the benefit of a species using language that is highly and consistently understandable (as is common in science, engineering, law, etc).
Let's hope there aren't any negative consequences from this ideology, which seems to be a cultural norms, supported by the vast majority of people across most any ideology ("pendants" being an exception - for fun, look up the meaning of that word in the dictionary).
Say, what's your stance on climate change, and the various wars The Humans have going on?
