Wait… people actually like rice? I thought it was just a thing you ate with other things because of reasons I don’t understand. It never occurred to me that people would eat it on purpose, because they enjoy it.

It's cultural. If you've grown up eating it with everything, it's like a comfort food

It’s like corn (e.g. tortillas) for some cultures or wheat (e.g. bread) for others.

I've grown up without that but I still love it. Though I also love pasta, bread and noodles so maybe I just love grains in general...
