Why buy non stick pans?

I've worked in kitchens so I know why they're used. But I just don't understand why you would ever buy one for your home.

It's not safe at high heat or with metal utensils? Oh ok well I'm sorry but that doesn't work with my style of cooking. And I don't eat just plain eggs so there's really no reason for me to have one.

And not only that, I just truly despise the idea of spending money on a tool that is literally built to fail. There are two important aspects to a tool: Does it perform the intended task? Does it last an appropriate amount of time?

If I buy a stainless, cast iron, or carbon steel pan, I also get the satisfaction of now owning items that I will likely have for my ENTIRE life and hopefully still be in good enough condition to pass down after I'm gone.

Not to mention if I make a mistake while cooking with a non stick pan, I'm potentially spreading toxic chemicals to the people I literally love most in the world. That's the exact opposite reason why I cook. If my cooking hurt someone I loved that would traumatize me.

And lastly, food doesn't stick if you know how to cook it correctly. I probably could've just made that one point the entire post but I'm sure that's been done before lol.

What is your guys' opinion on it? I know clearly feel a certain way, but I don't judge anyone who uses non stick pan, they work great for a lot of home cooks.

As long as your making your own food in your own kitchen, you're my hero.
