I think a lot of people simply don’t know how to cook or are so bad at it that they’d be embarrassed. I’ve seen HN commenters admit they eat in restaurants for all their meals. Heck in my early 20s I couldn’t even cook myself eggs or spaghetti.

That's an interesting take. Perhaps that was it. Sometimes I forget that I'm pretty self-solving for these kinds of things. (youtube a few recipes, run with it)... People often ask me "How did you learn to do that?" I'm like "I watched 4 youtube videos, got a couple of things from the store, and hoped for the best?"
