CMV: beans add nothing of value to food

I made bison/beef chili today and had to split the pot to add beans for my partner. Beans are 100% a filler item that does not add any meaningful flavor to any dish they are a part of. They only add a chalky mini bomb to disrupt any enjoyment food provides. I could have added rice to my otherwise delicious chili and got the same result. Beans are filler, have nothing positive to add to food flavor wise and I'd argue actually detract from the enjoyment because once you bite into them because of their dry chalky texture. Also im in my mid 30s so dont tell me "you've just never had them made right" if I havent experienced an instance of this food being made right in all this time maybe there isn't a good way to make them
