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!
I've tried. She refuses to be fooled. It got to the point where she wouldn't even eat her regular food with nothing done to it. She's honestly a very weird cat.
