CMV: adding hot sauce to all your food is the culinary equivalent of adding ketchup to all your food.

Ketchup has been called the "Esperanto" of condiments in that it contains all major flavors. Some people use this attribute to give all their food a uniform flavor, which is often derided in cuisine. 

However, I believe that there is a saucy hypocrisy afoot. Many of these critics and snobs who turn up their noses at the most institutional of Heinz's 57 will instead reach for the bottle of sriracha to the same uniform end--but now with some heat to further smooth any edges in their dishes.

Please, I'm a millennial and I have brunch tomorrow. I need my view changed before I lose all my friends!

One big difference is that while it is uncommon for prepared food to be under-seasoned in terms of salt or umami, it is very common for it to be under-seasoned in terms of spice.

The reason is that people have vastly different spice tolerances and many people will send a dish back if it's even a little spicy.  There's next to nobody who does that for having a bit of salt.

So if someone really likes spicy food, they're almost never going to get it when eating out or eating prepared foods.  In those cases, adding hot sauce may make sense.
