To be fair, I went to Bo Innovation in Hong Kong where I was given meat flavored toothpicks and was asked to "suck the toothpick while imagining the taste of wild duck". Probably one of the most ridiculous meal I've ever had. I went when they were 3 stars - they've been deservedly demoted to 2 stars since.
You can make the dumbed down money argument for literally everything. Pay 10s of thousands more to drive the same box with wheels with a different logo. Pay hundreds more to watch the same thing on a bigger screen. Pay hundreds more to wear a different leather on your feet. Etc etc.
Nobody is forcing you to go to any restaurant if you don't want to. If people do and they enjoy it, which the vast majority does, then just let them be.
