Always the first thing I turn off, but surely there are some people out there that actually like it. If you're one of those people is there a particular reason?

Perhaps the phrasing is wrong, but you could give op benefit of the doubt and think about what you like about it since it's the de facto standard. For example, you could say "it makes me feel like I'm actually going faster, but also I just like it and your question is dumb". Informative and mean at the same time!

If a gay man asked you "what do you find attractive about women" or the N other combos of that question would you helpfully say "get lost weirdo, I like what I like and there is no point in discussing it"?

Note while you're shitting on op, op at no point said your opinion is wrong just that they wished to understand. You're the bad guy here, with unnecessary hostility in response to a question.
