Yeah, as a "polyglot", I find it very questionable that being a polyglot is such a good investment of one's personal life. That is, there's other things one could learn instead; diverse teams will have diverse levels of polyglotism; and you can piggyback vicariously on the explanations of others who have learned lessons/lore from other programming language communities.
People I don't trust (like managers) probably think I'm a happy polyglot. But I dislike having learned most tools I know; the process was boring and there's more interesting things in this universe than learning how to deal with the b0rkenesses of some tool someone made. A lot of tools explicitly serve hiring managers (who want to maximize labor pool) rather than help liberate the imaginations of practitioners.
