1) Work / Projects with the new language (but not just "my boss tells I have to" as listed)
2) Curiosity / Personal interest.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Mostly curiosity. That usually leads me to explore rather than use properly. It also sometimes helps me to think differently about my main language(s).
But also interest in certain types of problems or domains forces you to look at other languages. E.g., AI and machine learning almost mandate some interest in Python and R. But most Microsoft-centric development roles don't require it.

Been out for a long time.
regularly worked on and improved.
Each release does not destroy backwards compatibility. Some breaking okay.
Previous language(s) announced as end of life (Silverlight -> 90% native JS with some lingering jQuery)
or bought over by some company and becoming and always been a headache of updates (Java -> C#)

Superiority over other languages?

If it's for personal use, yes maybe.
But professionally, unfortunately you don't always have the luxury to decide that.

No language is superior to all others. They each have strengths and weaknesses or are better suited to certain tasks than others.
