>if you have something so strong already like coffee, why would you want to dull its flavor with extra things? i apply the same
Coffee and tea nerd here, most people use the wrong temperature and steep times for both, or fail to degas (in the case of coffee). So they compensate with milk/cream to blunt the extra bitterness from over extraction or sourness from under extraction.
Then people get used to it and it becomes habit.
