IMO, History is the borest discipline ever. If you have a child, or if you play significant role in developing someone's else child - please, consider helping them to learn anything else. Something from STEM is a great start, what about History they will be somewhat forced to learn it anyway.

Learning about history, as a narrative about the motivations of leaders and peoples and how they incorporated technology, culture, and coping with the environment into their lives is both immensely informative. The topics of math and science alone have rich histories that help to inform why we've ended up where we are today. For me, at least, having a grasp of the history of a thing (a place, an idea, a people, etc) helps me reason about it.

Ignoring history seems like a great way to fall into the classi "Why don't you just...?" trap.

That is a great way to put it!

I guess that it can be boring and that is especially relevant to the way that it is served through schooling. The thing is that it's still important, so if there is a way to make it more fun i 'm interested. And i'm not comparing here with other disciplines, i'm into stem too.
