Honestly the disdain for them is a _little_ silly when they're not that different from a tostada (in fact, Taco Bell, in their failed foray into Mexico, called their tacos "Tacostadas" to give Mexican customers the idea).

What kind of taco do you picture when you think of a hard-shelled taco?

I picture American tacos (which are not good tacos, though I wouldn’t say I “disdain” them per se).

Oh well ground beef with “taco seasoning” is not necessarily that compelling. But the concept of a hard shell for tacos itself seems not that different from the impulse behind tostadas (or taquitos or flautas).

Really, they actually tried this? What were they thinking??

It's not really "Mexican food" and they weren't trying to get in that lane but to be something different. It's not that crazy. Panda Express has been somewhat successful in Asia.
