Wizards are the only ones who actually had to work for their magical abilities. Everyone else just inherited it or were gifted it by a higher power. Wizards are otherwise normal people who realized that they can figure it out on their own. And yet they’re somehow always considered the haughty, elitist ones.
I would argue that a bard has to work at it since they had to take the years to learn a musical instrument and then put it to use as an adventuring tool.
It’s probably because whenever spellcasters are being compared, a Wizard comes in and says something like “we’re the only ones who had to work for our magic”, as if finding a powerful entity and convincing it to make a not horribly skewed bargain, learning to commune with the land itself, or following the orders given by a deity isn’t “work”.

Silly bards. Barbarians can easily use instruments as adventuring “tools”.
I make absolutely sure to talk shit at wizards every time I play a sorcerer. It’s the way.

And don’t Bards also have to study their magic?
Yeah druids, wizards, and bards are all “learned” spellcasters.
Bards are just Wizards with arts degrees
I hate how much sense this makes.
Wooing and banging everything that moves is hard work
