And there we have it. It is about culture, taste, smell and texture.
All environment and cultures do not have beans in the center. The easiest examples are cultures which predominantly lived on fish.
In North America the three main agricultural crops are winter squash, maize (corn), and climbing beans. It should be no surprise that if you live there, cultural beans are great to you.
Like fish, seaweed is primarily part of the cultural diet in coastal locations. Look at the Māori people and there is a distinct lack of beans in their diet, but seaweed is used just as bean are in north America.
What you call "a hilarious false equivalency" is something I would call a lack of understand and empathy of different cultures.
