What would you think of an actor who, in the cinema or on stage, would act while reading his text? You would probably say to yourself that he doesn't get into the skin of the character and you would be right. In music, it is the same thing. To interpret a work well, one must be able to express oneself with the maximum of freedom and therefore not be encumbered by the reading.
Playing by heart is also about gaining self-confidence and having the freedom to play under any circumstances.
For example, let's say you are invited to a friend's house and you are asked to play the piano (or accordion). Of course, you don't have a score with you. But, as you know several pieces by heart, this will not be a problem and you will be able to share with them a good moment of musical emotion.
Playing by heart can be learned.
