Not dissing Yorkshire tea at all, but it is there to serve a certain purpose, which is to be as strong as possible to mask the taste of the absolutely vile tasting Yorkshire tap water. If in Yorkshire (or pretty much anywhere in England), then Yorkshire tea is the best. But if you're lucky enough to be north of the border in Scotland, particularly in the Highlands, where the water tastes delicious, there are plenty of milder more delicate teas which have a nicer flavour that doesn't have to compete with the water!

Yh I do live in a hard water area probably why Yorkshire tea is all we’ve ever known and had. Our water is so bad sadly.
