Yes, and 99.9% of the meals you eat in your life will not be there. Because it is either prohibitively expensive and elitist gourmet BS. Or it is trivially easy to offer some choice when it is not elitist gourmet BS.
Even at a more mundane restaurant, only having one meal for each course to worry about drastically simplifies life for the entire back line, plus it makes life easier for the chef or whoever does the ordering as well.
But I do go there. And when I tell them I don’t eat mayonnaise due to health concers they understand and offer an accommodation. The waiter most definitely doesn’t berate me or scuff at me. Nor do they refuse my patronage.
The gnome type of restaurant is called prix fixe, and it very much exists.

Even low fixed price day-menu restaurants in my town offer some basic choice or variation. People have food limitations and preferences.
So then don’t go to a prix fixe restaurant or check the menu beforehand. There’s no need to be this bitchy about it.

That type of restaurant tends to be among the best in the world.
Which makes sense. If each day you offer one choice you can make that one really good.
But for someone who doesn’t like that specific food it doesn’t work. They’d prefer having different options.
Kind of similar with gnome and KDE.
