Simple and quick answer is that for someone who you describe – i.e., gains little from Daf Yomi and will actually spend the time on learning something properly – then yes, Daf Yomi is not for him. For many, though, it is a Mechayev, and a way to connect with Klal Yisrael. The consistency and dedication are big plusses. And even if he doesn’t understand all of everything, he picks up Yedios in Shas that will help him in his future learning and Yiddishkeit.
