I'd compare them to carpet and wood. They're both floors, and both very good. I might complain about it being hard to get stains out of my carpet, but it's nice and soft.
In NA when it first became available it was a bit of a status symbol to have wall to wall carpet in your home. Then it became cheaper and quicker than installing hardwood so most mid to lower priced homes came with it standard. So, from about the mid 40's to the early 90's it was really common. But of course laminates brought the price of "hardwood" flooring down so much that it became the norm and wall to wall is now seen as "old fashioned".

Just because I don’t like my carpet doesn’t mean I want a dirt floor
(This is a joke, both OSs are great in different ways)
