You know what's funny l remember not knowing anything but could could play the music. I never went to school to read music and lm glad I didn't. There's a story of that.
When you get an artist to tell you to do a triad and the root note is natural C to get to the next chord its embarrassing not to know.
So l learned and leanring the chord letters, flat, sharp etc helped to work faster.
Like the signal markers under the C note l can't read but l know C note Eb=E-flat etc. See l can read your staff like that.
So people do have to learn and not stay stagnated.
I'll say, being able to read is a necessity in everyday functions knowing how to tead a staff is not for typical person.
I have a home girl a top rank classical pianist. She can only play if there is a staff in front of her. She couldn't make a track without sheet music to save her life. She envy me cause of that. I can sit down and compose music on the fly with sheet music. From your sheet music you have Em=E-minor, G, D, C etc. It doesn't look complicated but ask me like 6 years ago it looks like Paleo Hebrew lol
For moods of the chords will set the melodies in a scale.
Like Dorian mode, Major, Minor, Phygian, Pentatonic, Diminishined, Suspended , Diatonic etc. When l leraned these things l was like
is all this. When learned and applied my music automatically changed.

If asked you, can you transpose this piece to B♭3 for flugelhorn. (This is only assuming you can't read music.) Does that make you Lazy or not smart because you can't do it? If you've played music for +10 years, this should be really easy right? You ask for help, and I tell you to read the notation it's all there.
