I played ice hockey through college and beyond so rollerblading was pretty straightforward modulo rough surfaces and pavement that isn't flat. But I sort of agree. Even though it was popular at one point, it's something that has a learning curve for someone who hasn't, often painfully, learned activities that provide an on-ramp. Not that I became an expert but picking up inline skating as an adult was pretty easy for me. And, yeah, it isn't an activity that has any real utility. I don't really bike (didn't learn as a kid because didn't have a real place to safely bike--narrow country roads). But might have done so if there was a real practical reason to do so. Of course, inline skating was a popular activity at one time and it just fell out of fashion.
