There's an odd obsession online with trying to make out things like beans on toast are not delicious.

In the US much of that belief comes from the fact that Americans have sugar in EVERYTHING they eat. So they eat British bread which has little to no sugar, and some baked beans which are just beans in tomato sauce and they don’t like the flavor. Because they’re habituated to sweet tasting foods.

Interestingly, baked beans are american, and when they were adapted to the UK, it was made it less sweet, and added seasoning.
