Hinduism entails so much more than the advaitin chase of 'I' with the ultimate goal of conquering it. Yes this is the school most widely presented in the western cultures. But it's not the only school. Hinduism is far too vast to only have one philosophical path.
In fact, most born Hindus are hardly aware of that aspect, as they simply realise that it's somewhere near the end of the trail where one day they'll be. But for now there is so much more to enjoy, like seva, devotion, temple camaraderie, culture, dance, pilgrimage, colourful saris, sadhana, japa, bhajans.
So the western version, brought to the west mostly by Vedantin swamis, has little of the fascinating culture of Hinduism in it. But if that's all you see or are exposed to, then sure it's puzzling, even boring.
