RC is ignored as in , the man hours spent on RC is significantly low.

This thought is consistent Atleast with the forums I'm in touch with.

SC gives you maximum ROI in terms of effort put in during prep as well as during the actual exam. It's easier to improve in SC since most questions test from a defined set of errors (tenses, SV agreement, parallelism, modifiers etc). Once you get a hang of how to choose the best available option, your accuracy improves a whole lot. Often, decision points help you answer each SC question in under a minute. So it gives you the biggest bang for your buck, so to say.

Improving in RC, on the other hand, is a slow, tedious process. That doesn't mean it cannot be done but a period of 2-3 months is certainly not enough to make a marked difference. What helps is a lot of regular reading (it helps with SC too) on every conceivable topic, and still, what you get may be totally out of your comfort zone. Yes, RC is extremely important and understanding the question types helps, but it is a life skill you build over years.

In my opinion CR is the most easy section, SC is at number two (It is easiest for many native English speakers) for me being a non-native and RC is the most challenging. One can master CR and SC sections in ten day each but i don't thing RC can be mastered within ten days. Conclusively, the RC is important and specially you cannot ignore this section if you are looking for a V38+ score in the verbal.

"...want to know why it's so neglected by so many aspirants"

Might be because there is a lot one can "actively" do to improve SC (i.e. memorizing idioms). For RC, it's probably fair to say there is less out there to "work with".

I like RC more than CR and CR more than SC . I get to know some new information every time I read a passage.
Solving questions confirm my understanding whether it was right or otherwise.

I generally hate RC but I'm trying to love it the way you do, seems like that's the only way you can get through.
