I think it comes from the idea that you'll have more knowledge about what you are eating.

There's some truth to that, but cooking for yourself still hides a lot. And it might end up just being a false sense of health.

It's also what stage you are at. Most people can't make soda at home, so eliminating that alone might be a big help for some.

> Most people can't make soda at home

Sure, but most people also already know that soda is unhealthy for you, so they can stop buying it and drink water with their food instead. It doesn't require a framework of "home cook everything" to make these small, incremental changes: in fact I'd argue that these changes are easier than what's essentially just a diet by another name.
