Are there a lot of concert pianists who got to the level that they did by just playing random songs they liked, without deliberately practicing the mechanics? And then, one day, woke up with the ability to quickly learn and perform unfamiliar pieces of music at the level expected of one?
You can absolutely learn to play some piano by just noodling. Your learning will be much slower, and you'll miss important fundamentals that are present in any piano method.
That's perfectly fine for learning things that you do for enjoyment, or things that don't really matter. It's a lot less fine for learning things that... do.
