The zeitgeist has pushed the idea carbs/grains and sugar are terrible over the last 40 years on and off, so that seems to say more about the medical industrial complex, than anything. That's fair, but if that message has been pushed so consistently, why didn't we see a real decrease in the consumption of those things and the associated weight loss?

Because carbs taste great.

It is really more than just taste though.

I am on a GLP-1 level calorie restricted diet right now without a GLP-1 and of course it is just miserable.

I love eating a giant sandwich at night that is more calories than what I am eating all day now but it isn't the taste it is the brain chemical release.

It is an addiction like any other addiction. I have never felt that same craving for chicken breast.

I can confirm.
