ELI5: What's so wrong with steaks cooked well done?

I am not trying to cause a deep internet argument, but I genuinely have been eating steaks cooked well done for my whole life. Just want to know why well done steaks are seen as such an insult to beef before I decide to order one as rare or medium rare. What makes steak okay to eat rare but not other meats such as chicken.
Excuse the ignorance, seriously looking for someone to enlighten me.

A big problem is that a very expensive steak and a very cheap steak are virtually indistinguishable when they are well-done. It doesn't matter how fine the marbling of the fat, how lovingly it was dry-aged, all of those things that make a great steak a GREAT steak are utterly obliterated when overcooked. Plus, it is not nearly as tender or juicy. That's why so many people are aghast: if you cook a rib-eye steak well-done, you might as well have had a slab of cheap london broil for all you're getting out of the experience.
