Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?

It's not so much easy-difficult, it's high-level-low-level. Low-level languages can be easy in the sense that you don't have many entities to juggle (stacks, registers, etc.) and high-level languages can be miserable, like C++.
Of you're interested in starting with the fundamentals, go with C. If you just want to get something made, go with ~~Claude~~ Python.
