Bay leaves, flavor or not

I've seen videos of people going on about bay leaves being a scam of some kind because they add no flavor to food. They always receive responses from many people who affirm that bay leaves do add flavor to a dish, and from many who agree that they don't.

It occurs to me, then, that maybe there are people who taste whatever bay leaves add to food and people who don't. This is just as there are people who like cilantro and those who think it tastes like soap, or people who love anise and licorice and those who find the flavor disgusting. At least with bay leaves, it isn't a matter of hating the taste but if not tasting them at all. So, even if you don't taste them yourselves, it won't hurt for you to add them, when a recipe calls for them, for the enjoyment of anyone you're cooking for who does taste them.
