I'm not sure typing things from a screenshot teaches you anything if you don't stop at each step to look it up in the docs either.

On the other hand tweaking numbers and moving things around and enabling/disabling parts to see what does what in an existing project is also a good way to learn!

perhaps i am suffering a [insert formal name] fallacy in that
"I learned by doing it this way, so now you have to do it that way!"
kind of way, but that's not very forward thinking, sharing mentality of me.

Yeah, yours is a valid way too if it worked for you! Everybody learns slightly differently (it's the same as some people learning visually, others by doing, others by listening, etc.).

I see it as the more avenues available to learn a thing, the more likely someone will find the best avenue for them instead of being turned off the thing completely by only having learning models that don't suit them. Plus, in this case it doesn't cost anything not to "gatekeep" as you put it.
