Are you claiming that no one can learn by reading Bourbaki,no matter how intelligent and motivated they are?

How did you turn «doesn’t try to include context» into «completely useless»?
Bourbaki has no history, no diagrams, limited motivating discussion. It strives to be entirely axiomatic/formal, and to be organized in a strictly “logical” fashion. Bourbaki claims that intuition and analogy are dangerous/faulty and should be avoided.
That doesn’t mean you can’t learn anything from it.
