Translation of every single argument of carb-sympathizers on the internet:

"I like the taste of carbs in my mouth so I really don't want you to be right. Here's a bogus study presented by a healthy-looking influencer that supports my view so I can continue poisoning myself and building a brand upon misleading others to do the same, guilt-free."

There is an argument to be made for sports athletes that use carbs. Replenishing glycogen with carbs is much faster and the rate of physical activity that they are involved in is so abnormally high that humans likely didn’t evolve to be able to do that on meat alone.

It’s addiction pure and simple. Craving carbs is a mental compulsion. No different than when someone wants to quit booze, nicotine, etc but keeps desiring them.
