“It’s not a problem for me so I struggle to see why it’s a problem for anybody else”.

The lack of empathy throughout your comments here is staggering.

I’m a fantastic baker. I can bake a much better cake than my grandma ever could, but I can’t bake the cake I had in my childhood without a box. “Just but two” is nonsense dumb advice.

You can't bake the cake you had in your childhood. You already had it. Even if it had all the same atoms in the same positions it would not be the same, because you are not the same.
I agree that the precise atoms don't matter that much, but disagree that you can't have the same cake again. You just need to believe that you can.
