I think the OP is stupid, but are there really people who read nothing but YA?
Every single YA book I've ever managed to sit and read though has the same basic plot and characters and boring hetero love triangle. I would imagine it would get dull and repetitive fast.
I know there are some YA books that differ from this formula and are supposed to be really good, but I know it's not the majority.

That describes a lot of fanfic (with the addition of non-hetero relationships) and people don't seem to have an issue with that. It's common for people to binge read fics about a specific pairing, even. The formulaic quality of YA probably doesn't present much of an obstacle to people who want to read YA.

there certainly are. not having to think is part of the appeal, just like people like to do easy grinding in video games, or watch series that are easy.

it's like making yourself (kind of bland) comfort food

You might want to get better at selecting books, then. It takes time, but after you get used to it, it starts to come naturally. I read mostly YA (75% or so I'd say) and I rarely run into any of the awful formulas that YA is known for.

I even kinda doubt you actually read as much YA as you say, since "boring hetero love triangle" is one of the most common criticisms people fall back on when they want to paint all YA with the same tarnished brush without really reading it.

The majority of books in general aren't good, just like the majority of music isn't good, and the majority of TV isn't good, and the majority of movies aren't good.

I don't get people who haven't figured that out.
