Learning ‘everything’ offers the benefit of helping you identify new many things you potentially could easily become (or happen to already be) unusually good at.

On one hand, it’s a bit addictive and without certain external factors or compensating techniques it’s possible to get used to it so much that one becomes averse to investing time into learning one thing in depth.

On the other hand, at least with the type of mindset I have, the idea of knowing what to learn seems foreign, enviable at times but more often smelling of a local maximum.
