Why do pentecostals pretend to speak in tongues?

Why can't they be happy with the real gifts of God, and place their
emphasis on SERVING our loving God instead of playing "gimme, gimme,
gimme the spiritual gifts I don't have.

Pentecostalism seems to be SELF centered instead of GOD centered.

Why is that?
