Notice what Jesus offers instead of removal. He doesn't say give me your burden and I'll make it disappear. He says take my yoke, trading one weight for another, gentler one. Rest, in this text, isn't the absence of all load. It's a different, lighter load carried alongside someone gentle and humble, rather than alone. And learn from me comes paired with the invitation to rest, meaning the rest isn't just relief from effort. It's an apprenticeship in a whole different way of carrying things.
