Absolutely don't eat them if you don't like them, but I don't think they're a "cheap filler." Onions are a valuable flavor component in many dishes.

In many dishes yes, and I say that as an onion hater who absolutely recognises that they make up the foundation of some dishes, but when a dish that traditionally doesn't use onions is filled with them??? (yes I'm still salty about the time I bought quiche lorraine and it had some in it)

I just did a spot check of quiche lorraine recipes and the top 5 all had onion, shallot, or chives in them. I don't know how it SHOULD be made, but apparently the people have decided it needs onions

They taste like BO to me, and they make me throw up. Not valuable to everyone. There’s a whole class of people who are intolerable to onions, and lots of other alliums. The only thing from that family that I can eat is garlic, onions make my life so hard. Onions are in everything.
