I think the pasta sauce analogy is right in some ways, wrong in others. On the one hand i think it is true, people have different tastes, and you could probably break gaming up into several flavors. But whereas jarred pasta sauce is single serve, often for a bachelor who just has to worry about his taste, most gaming groups are a mixed crowd. So there is a place for chunky sauce with the right group of friends who are on the same page. It's just that the majority of game groups are more like a family sharing one communal pot of tomato sauce. If i have six people at the table, where two love chunky, two love sweet, and two love salty and thin, i have to cook a sauce they all can eat withtout objection. Which wil involve compromise and finding a mean that works for everyone.
