I guess this assumes that you're interested in those other disciplines, which - if you're exclusively into bouldering - simply isn't the case.
The most poignant example of this I can think of is when I bumped into a friend in Yosemite Valley years ago. I was there for the big walling, which - at the time - seemed like the logical thing to do. He was out there for the bouldering, which - at the time - I thought was totally and utterly insane; however, many years on - and a whole lot of bouldering later - I could easily see myself going back to the Valley for an outright bouldering trip.
Would this trip be a waste of time, would I be missing the point? No, because if that's what I'm interested in, and that's what I want to do, then that is probably the right decision.
Also, Midnight Lightning + King Cobra aren't going to climb themselves are they...
