Also, beer, olive oil, and cigars, and every other food people argue over and say "No, just try it, you'll see I'm right, and you're wrong."

I mean flavor, not nutritional quality, so yeah, some "cheese" is not actually cheese, but flavor-wise, it's all fine. It's designed to taste good, and people buy it by the truckload.

"Oh, you just haven't had really good coffee." No, I have had coffee people claim is "really good", expensive coffee, brewed "just right", but again, it's just different to me, not better. And, no again, I don't put sugar or anything in it.

"You just don't have a 'refined pallet'." Bullshit elitism. Proven when it comes to wine, at least. People can't tell the difference between expensive wine and box wine.

Different, not better. Yes, of course, it's subjective, but the way people argue shows that many don't actually believe that. And, you'll be dismissed for not agreeing.

Having preferences is one of the few joys that we can have left in this world.

Where I live most coffee cost the same to have it made, about $5 a cup for McDonald’s to the hyper local sourced from speciality farm brew.

The one you like most is best. people trying to share their favorite with you is a way of sharing joy.

Some people can’t share in that. Just like some people are partially deaf, some people have muted taste. They can hear something, but not enough to enjoy it. Just because someone can’t tell one piece of music from the next doesn’t mean all music is the same.

That said I think you opinion is unpopular. Most people have favorites when it comes to food and drink.
