Most people won’t like coffee the first time. Most people won’t like beer the first time either. Many will continue to not like one or both of those things, but many will acquire a taste for one or the other after they’ve have enough goes on it.
For me, personally, I would have agreed with you once upon a time when it came to drinking coffee, but I was always a bit weird in that I like coffee flavoured ice cream as a kid. (And also the coffee flavoured chocolates in the Cadbury’s Roses and the packets of Revels, when they used to be a thing.) And I guess coffee with a load of milk and sugar was a gateway to coffee with a load of milk, which was a gateway to coffee with maybe just a little bit of milk or a little bit of sugar to take the edge off the bitterness.
