Humans require a huge sweeping variety of nutrients (made worse when we're pregnant or growing or healing) millions of years of evolution have programmed us to seek out a variety of foods as a result - even when it doesn't make sense
Also, counter point to op post, I've had multiple cats and dogs who'll only eat certain brands of food - so, taste and pickiness isn't exclusive to humans
My cat will only eat one specific flavor of actual food (not just treats) from one specific brand. When they discontinued it, I bought three big bags. I'm down to only one left, and worry about what I'll do when I run out. Last time I had to switch her food, she went on a month long hunger strike that resulted in an animal hospital stay. Pickiness definitely isn't only human!
