Those are all good points.
I think my basic objection is it feels like I'm being deceived. It's like going to a concert and finding out they're just playing a recording and pretending to play their instrument live or sing live. Sure there's the crowd, the venue, the stage, the show, but at a basic level I paid for a live performance, not a recording. Similarly I paid for a meal made by the restaurant, not made by someone else and just served at the restaurant.
Just be honest about it.
I don't get upset when the menu says "Donuts from Dynamo Donuts" or "Ice Cream from Humphry Slocombe" so tell me "Chicken Kiev by Sarah Lee" if that's the case.
