In a nutshell it’s too wasteful in energy spent and it doesn’t even try to mimic natural cognition. As physicists say about theories hopelessly detached from reality - “it’s not even wrong”.
The achievements of RL are so dramatically oversold that it can probably be called the new snake oil.
I'm going to need you to unpack that a bit. Isn't interacting with an environment and observing the result exactly what natural cognition does? What area of machine learning do you feel is closer to how natural cognition works?
