Because in amost all cases that's exactly the right advice.The cryptography learning that is sufficient and desirable is from books such as "Applied Cryptography" which cover protocols and algorithms at a high level. Studying the implementation or creating ones own implementation is for experts who don't need to ask questions, or ask sufficiently interesting questions that it is clear they are experts.
As soon as someone tells me that I shouldn't learn about something and that it is my best interests to remain ignorant, I no longer trust that thing, or the people giving the advice. This is especially true of crypto.
