Perhaps. I am American, after all, it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. But I view pretzels the same way I view tortilla chips - a bad chip can ruin a pairing, but a good chip will serve as a vehicle for salsa and otherwise stay out of the way of the experience. Pretzels are the same with their salt to me. The bread part, so long as it is prepared properly, is mostly structural. I’m here to eat the rocks.
The pretzel itself is unimportant so long as it can serve as a vehicle for big rocks of salt.
You completely misunderstood the art of eating pretzels.

You’re eating bad or old/wet pretzels then. I mostly remove some of the salt since they’re too salty for me.
But pretzels with spundekäse are amazing. I love it and could eat it every day.
