Pentatonic is handy/easy/fundamental on any instrument it can apply to, which is most.

Yes, I agree. I was just using a guitarist point of view. But after rereading it I should have been more specific. A guitarist whom reads music learns the major scale first. Those who do not read music learns the minor pentatonic scale first, at least in my experience.
