Hot take... You don't have to love reading to read. You just have to be taught phonics.

You don't have to love reading to gain the basic skill, but it's something where practice counts, and that can also open up huge areas of knowledge and experience for them. People do more of what they enjoy, so making reading enjoyable for children is extremely worth it.

Maybe, but to make kids think they have to "love" it is irrelevant. They do not and it's perfectly ok if they don't, so long as they know how and can do it when necessary.
