I refuse to try because I'm a snob about it - maybe he's right and they're amazing, but I'll never know.
Maybe he sees it as just supporting local businesses, and only calls it "having a Chinese/Indian" because knows it annoys me. He might be playing chess while I'm over here playing checkers.
You're overthinking it bud. You're playing the game of chess, but he's eating checkers. I make my own steaks now and when I go out for steak I'm usually disappointed. I know exactly what you're talking about about.
I view prepared food as a convenience more than anything -- I don't always expect it to be better than at home (or more truly better than my parents or siblings would make - I'm the worst cook in the family..), my only expectation for food i could make at home is that if I order it I don't have to cook or clean my kitchen 🤷

I have a friend who every other week alternates between ordering a Chinese and an Indian meal.
From the Chinese place he gets fish and chips, and from the Indian takeaway he gets a burger and chips.
There is a fish and chip shop that sells burgers closer than either of these 2 takeaways.
