Am I wrong for not wanting to mod my 3DS?

Discussion

The general sentiment I've picked up around 3DS modding is that unmodded 3DS's are obsolete and if I don't mod my 3DS I'm a dumb baby who can't follow instructions. I don't want to mod my 3DS for a few reasons, such as:

  1. I spent $300 on my xl and I don't want to mess with it.

  2. Video guides are apparently bad because they can become outdated very quickly, but I find it way easier to do something if I see someone physically doing it. I misinterpret instructions very easily so I'm scared I'd somehow mess up with the official guide.

There's also the fact that I really enjoy the hunt for rare or expensive games, but it's nearly midnight and I wanna go to bed lol.

So we come back to the title, am I stupid for not wanting to mod my 3DS? Does that make me inferior? I feel like if I walked into a room full of people with modded 3DS's I would be laughed out for being 'too stupid to mod it'.
