>It's crazy how Muslims just learn Arabic if they wanna read the Quran, Hindus just learn Sanskrit for their hymns, but no Christians really use the original Greek for Liturgy (besides the Greek Orthodox), much less the Hebrew.
The Bible in Acts chapter 2 implies that God's word can be preached in any language. All anyone really needs is an accurate translation to do this.

>There's a power in preserving a text in its original form, and Christians abandoning that is a bad move strategically if nothing else.
Yes there is. There have been people in every era who preserved the original language texts and we have received them via the received text today. Christ said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." And He was right. The Bible itself also teaches this throughout.

"Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever."
- Psalm 119:160

"As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever."
- Isaiah 59:21

"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."
- 1 Peter 1:23-25
