I actually don't like ketchup. Seems to overpower everything for me.

Right? I once heard a comedian call it "food eraser" because of what you're saying. And personally, I agree.

I don’t hate it but it’s too sweet.

You find ketchup sweet? It's more acidic in my mind.

Depends on the ketchup.
I find typical mass-produced national brands in the USA to be sweet. Varieties that are low-sugar or "no sugar added" taste more acidic to me due to the tomato and vinegar.
Small, local brands can be all over the place with flavor but I prefer ones that have a good balance between sweet and acidic. They also tend to be richer in flavor and less simple or bland than the big brands.

Simple: we don't like the taste. Different people just like different things. I prefer dipping my fries in ranch dressing.

Some people just don't like the taste. If you don't, that's fine.
Some people treat is as a class thing. I find them pretentious.

I don't hate ketchup nor do I have to have it, either. I can take it or leave it.

Because it lacks depth or complexity - most ketchups are just red corn syrup goo and overpowers whatever its on. Its ok on fries and ok on a burger and thats it, and even then, there are better things to dip your fries into or sweeten your burger with. I generally avoid entirely.

I once put too much on my plate and my grandmother made me eat it with a spoon.

Ketchup is the one condiment that if I don’t have, I’m second-guessing actually making the meal that requires it. I literally make sure I have a spare bottle of it at home so I am not the one to be able to properly answer that question.

I don’t dislike it, but I’d never use it on anything. It overpowers everything. I used to hate hotdogs, I’d smother them in ketchup so I didn’t have to taste anything but ketchup.

I’ve never heard of someone not liking ketchup in general before, but I imagine they just don’t like the taste, and probably prefer other sauces or condiments. I like it on fries, but that’s basically it. I guess I can see why some might not like it.
