If this is what I think this is why didn't he use a kiwi or some other vaguely spherical hairy object as an example?

Because that wouldn't be funny.

Math isn't important, its something you are doing as a form of intellectual masturbation to differentiate yourself from other humans and bolster your self-worth. Want to earn money? Bullshitters are making millions this moment. Want to contemplate the deeper questions of reality? Math can only ever uncover quantitative relations, never qualitative ones. Want to find happiness? Drugs, fanatical belief in Christianity, or living as a peasant in the Siberian Taiga will bring you more fulfillment.

In my own mathlet experience I know the cardinal importance of Math, I just don't give a fuck about advanced subjects as yours.
I know a girl who won Math Olympics at High School and easily entered University to study pure math. She abandoned it because she was creeped out, everyone was spending their whole weak just doing Math and literally nobody talked to anyone or made friends in the classes.

I don't know if this is even worth the effort. I think that people who appreciate math will appreciate math. People who won't will go to TED talks to listen to applied mathematicians talk about the collatz conjecture with no substance at all.

Also, I think it is important to know our place. I know your story is a joke, but it would be cringy to actually see a mathematician in the real world try to justify mathematics by its applications. Just say "I do it to have fun".

Only a child cares about looking cringey. Grow some balls jesus. Youre the cringe here.
