You make some good points.
I think another thing that has an impact is the lack of a PR machine behind "picking up a good non-fiction book" or "doing something constructive that is also a good physical exercise".
Or more precisely, the lack of a PR machine that specifically tells people it's good for their brain.

But if you read a bunch of history and physics books (without being forced to) just to know lots of things, that's pretentious and you're just trying to be better than us normal folks. Not sure it's a very strong argument, but curious to know what others think.
