> No restaurant offers that variety.
No single restaurant. But in a city like mine, there are countless restaurants that offer meals I have neither the knowledge nor equipment to prepare.
It may not be 100,000 ingredients… but neither are the shops I'd buy the ingredients from.
Heck, I have a kid in my life who has a severe peanut allergy. Going out to eat is restrictive as we can't go to some restaurants, so cooking at home is way easier on many occasions.
We also like to sit an eat together "just because", so like you point out, a dining room can be used day-to-day, not just for parties (though it's also great for those).

Of course it's possible.
But that kind of thinking is often the problem. Plan based on what you'll actually do.
Freedom means I can optimize for whatever I want, not what other people think I should want.

Nobody is trying to tell you what you should want.
But you should try to increase your accuracy about what you will want when making big decisions. We all should.
And for the "dining room just for parties" argument from above: it is actually possible to invite your neighbours, your friends, your colleagues, ... to dinner more than once a year. I almost never had people turn down such an invitation.
