There's no *need* for you to even know that you can use a radio to
talk to people.

there is if I want a license for it

Learn (now there's a new concept for you) the difference between
"specific" and "general".

There's a need, if we want a ham license to say that the holder of
said license has achieved a certain level of technical competence, to
test for that competence. Otherwise all the license says is "I have
this piece of paper with ink on it".

no it say I have legal license to do xyz with it that is all it has
ever said

In your limited experience - which is about 0% relevant to anyone
else.

experhaps in the epriod where the general advanced and
Extra class all had the same preveldges

Which was ... oh ... only a few decades. But you weren't licensed
then, so they don't matter, right?
