In general people will start with their root, and won't start with other chords b/c it isnt the root of a Major or Minor scale, but you can play start on any chord of a diatonic scale b/c its a root of a relative scale, so in part I was trying to show that.
And when people look for chords, they may only use thier root as the I chord of a major or minor scale, which again isnt necessary.
Just ingeneral when I read different threads I think the major scale gets way too much importance (notation of intervals uses the major scale as a reference point), but when it comes to playing a song the major scale gets equal importance to the other 6 modes (however this varies on taste).

Yes, you are right.
If you learn how to play songs, then you learn songs. If you learn how to improvise, then you learn music.
