Who "defends" oatmeal? And since when does it require more than one or perhaps two additives?

Literally just milk, honey, and fruits.
Oatmeal is a base, like soup broth. It's a vehicle for added flavor and texture to other stuff.
I'm currently eating oatmeal with raisins, cinnamon, honey, and peanut butter
I generally add milk, chia seeds, flaxseed and cocoa powder, but just oatmeal+milk is good enough for me.
I also sometimes bake them by making cookies (oatmeal, flour, butter, salt, water and various seeds) and the predominant taste is oatmeal. So yes, to me, oatmeal tastes good by itself, it's only shortcomming is that it's dry, but I have munched on just oatmeal from time to time.
Perhaps people aren't put off by the flavour (or lack thereof) so much as the texture. I like oatmeal myself but can't stand the texture of mushrooms. The taste doesn't bother me, just the texture.
I put in only a little water to make mine thicker. It helps a lot with the texture
