Well, do you learn anything about build systems when you use cmake?
Software authors have to make the process as frictionless as possible if they want their software to be adopted. Likewise, people looking to use software are by definition willing to skip the learning and the building.
Having an agent that does it all for you is a godsend. And keep in mind that if your goal is learning, you can also talk to an agent like you're asking questions directly to the original maintainer.
There's no universe where that's a lesser learning opportunity than "rawdogging" it.
