A lot of people read as a hobby and that is completely easy to understand.
But at least in my country we need to read fiction books in school and analyse them.
It’s important to know that I am talking about fiction, not about history or math books. I am talking about Shakespeare and those fiction writers.
As an example, we need to explain the meaning of verses in poems and we need to understand what is the meaning behind books.
Why we need to do this? Is the necessary nowadays?

In order to learn how to communicate and how you are being communicated to.
The process you’re learning when you’re learning about meaning in texts is learning how word choices, structure, and imagery can make you feel things.
Modern communication especially is all about making you feel things in order to manipulate you, whether it’s into buying things you might not have wanted until someone told you about them so very persuasively, voting for that politician who says you should be mad about the same things they’re mad about (even if those things don’t, when you really think about it, affect you very much), or whatever else they might be trying to direct you towards. Even just clicking on the next video on Youtube. (Youtube algorithmically feeds you things that will make you mad because mad people click on the next video in order to chase the high and stay mad).
