It's like asking "Why do pilots hate airplane food?"

It has nothing to do with why pilots are/aren't epicures, and a more to do with their bosses deciding to serve them crappy food.

This.

Another comment mentions that Epic is amazingly customisable. But that is not in the control of the people who use it.

On most airlines the pilots on longer flights eat the same catered meals as first-class passengers. It's not that bad.
