It's more a matter of separating out personal preference for what is fun from the group preference for what is fun. What works for one person is fine, for that person; but the only thing that we know about the group - every group that's playing an RPG - is that they've all come together to play a role-playing game.
This is a group-based hobby, and everyone at the table needs to participate. If your personal preferences put you at odds with the group, then you should probably find a different group. If you don't like role-playing, then you might have difficulty in finding an RPG group where you fit in. Don't be that player who ruins it for everyone else.
This is the first thing you've written in this thread that I agree with.
I would add that it's important to have some agreement...or at least some understanding...of what other people at the table mean by "roleplaying."
And also that "my way is real roleplaying and all other ways are...something else" is neither true nor useful nor respectful.
