Certainly, I could eat more boringly, but I don't really want to. I enjoy food and I enjoy eating.
I can get just as much enjoyment as I did from an unhealthy diet, but at quite a bit more cost.

Lean meats and spices. How is that boring? If I want lobster or steak I'll go out and have it properly done. At that point it's not boring, it's luxury. If you equate "not boring" with luxury then I'm not sure what to tell you.

Cooking a steak properly at home is not at all difficult.

Yeah you're right, but I'd never be able to properly make a kobe steak at home so I'd rather go out. Chicken and most fish is hard to mess up so I keep that at home.

Most "Kobe steak" sold outside of Japan is a scam. It's extremely likely you aren't getting the real thing and before 2013 all "Kobe beef" sold in the US was a scam.

(I think steak is easier to cook than chicken)

Really, this recipe[0] takes <15 minutes and tastes better than any steak I've ever had in a restaurant. I use butter instead of oil. All you need is a cast iron skillet.

You don't even need cast iron, I use stainless steel just fine.
Not everything needs to be 24/7 exciting, least of all food. Figure out a few spices and you're good to go. What else is there?
I too lost the same amount of weight and food to me now is just fuel organized in tupperware that I heat up and scoop down in a few minutes. Why? Now when I go out to eat I get to properly think and decide what to spend my money on, it's that much better.
$50/week on food. Veggies, lean meats, rotate a source of carbs.
