totally relate any job ive been trained on prominently tech coding and data analysis jobs i would ask the why for any given thing that i didnt know about a system i was working with id always get well why does it matter this is just how you do it  but id push get my answer and eventually im almost always the go to person when a quirky situation comes up and no one else can figure it out i guess having to ask the why helps me see patterns its part of my need to master what im doing  if i dont get the why i get frustrated and forget the instructions altogether
