It's because it was not a thing in Italy, so accepting it was seen as the sign of being out of touch with "real pizza" traditions. Sadly, a natural reaction of disgusted rejection by Italians has been adopted by snobs all over the world. Nowadays you'll find it even in Italy, because tourists demand it and they pay hard cash, so fuck it all anyway.
I'm pretty sure even Tomatoes weren't. I hope this isn't the reason for the disdain.

...by people who don’t know where what they think of as “Italian pizza” actually comes from. Look up “pizza effect.”

#17so let me get this straight: - read the manual - follow the tutorial - customize it to your liking wow, what enlightening advice! this must be unique to emacs and not _any_other piece of software! once again, all you need to get FP'd on hackernews is to put the word "emacs" in your title. zoom! to the front page!
One thing I dislike about the manual is that it rarely presents examples, but commands like describe-variable and describe-function often help elucidate usage. Not to mention external packages that makes all that even easier.

#18It follows a similar philosophy as the OP: Start by reading Emacs's built-in tutorial, and then my tutorial shows you how to leverage the built-in help system to figure out how to achieve what you want to do.

Pizza existed before Italian migration to North America was even a thing. It gained tomatoes when they became more readily available and better known in the early XIX century, and that's about it. The explosion in Italian migration happened later, by then most of the traditional pizzas had long been codified.
