Basically, it's the same argument as when someone goes to a fancy
restaurant. People pay for the luxurious experience, to be subjected to
an extraordinary treatment of some sorts. Some people are not sparing
money in order to create a memorable experience.

But there will always be do-gooders who will tirelessly crusade against
such experiences. These people are toiling and belabouring, performing
this thankless job where they claim they wish to protect us from
ourselves. So you can hear them yell, day in and day out: "stop wasting
your money! A nice cheap meal at the local deli is as good and as
nutritious as that fancy-schmancy meal you're eating at a posh
restaurant. Stop being such a fool, here, I will instil some
common-sense into your thick skull!"

But the bottom-line question is, who asked them to act on our behalf and
for our own benefit? The answer is simple: no one ever asked them to do
so, nor will anyone ever ask them to perform such idiotic duty.
Nevertheless, they feel compelled to keep charging with their
self-appointed crusade. That's precisely why do-gooders are the most
annoying people in the world.
