You don't need to love math as a science or art, you need to be comfortable with math as a way to explore HW and SW designs.

I don't love my car either. It's a tool to get you where you want to go in both cases.

If you look at a lot of the responses just posted, you will find that what you say is not true.

They are saying that they love electronics, an even that it does not seem like work at all, or is "just a tool".

There are some people also who "Love" cars and don't see them as just a tool, and that includes auto mechanics.

Regarding math, there are some people who "Love" math also and don't see it as just a tool used in science or engineering.
Myself, I'm not that great at math, but I can see how some people would love math, as it is the operating network in the cosmos
that keeps everything working. I can see how some people could get consumed and lost in math, just like an artist would get
lost in his or her canvas. There is a guy on youtube who is a railroad engineer as a profession. He loves trains so much that when
he comes home after work, he works on model trains and travels to train shows. There is someone who loves his work.
Electronics does have that side also, IMO. It could be all consuming, and I have met some who are at it after work in their off time.

That being said, originally I asked the question about education and electronics because I always see people on the internet saying
that education in electronics (schools) is barely enough or not adequate for seriously working in electronics and that "experience"
is what matters.

 

Formal Education does NOT automatically guarantee success or final abilty, as I have discovered or witnessed this many times over the years.
A prime example is, or was Micael Faraday who we can credit with the invention of the electric motor, transformer and others.
He had no formal education and was completely self taught.

Yet, It took a math guy like Maxwell to make the leap to a usable theory of EM using the work's of Faraday and others. Einstein needed help with the math of SR and GR to make his insight into a useful physics theory. As was said many times, it takes both but not always from the same person to make leaps in science.
