As a tourist, I have no interest in visiting places that are “non-touristy”

In all the travel/vacation subreddits, there are a plethora of posts that ask for recommendations for “non-touristy” destinations or places that the locals frequent. However, I fail to see the appeal and obsession with only doing things off the beaten path. I am a tourist, so I *want* to do touristy things that I know are specifically meant for me. I have no desire to invade a “locals only” restaurant or beach that is not set up to accommodate travelers, especially foreign travelers. On a more selfish note, I wouldn’t want to go anywhere that I may not be welcome.
