From what I know, learning on a more diverse set makes a model better overall.

This might be an interesting research question: can you train a model on many languages, and then extract a much smaller model that knows only one language without much loss of quality?
Humans brains and LLMs are not the same, though. I don't think your analogy is remotely applicable, even if your conclusion may be correct.
