(Of course some customers very much think anyone who has a different view than them is wrong or doesn’t exist. “I don’t like prewritten adventures so no one wants them why do you keep making them and selling thousands of them?”)

You're just wrong. English has qualifiers. If someone says "I've never found a good pizza place in San Francisco", and someone else says "I guess this person's never heard of all these great pizza places here in New York", the 2nd person is reacting to something the 1st person NEVER. FUCKING. SAID.

Ah, okay. That's what we're doing? Attacking people for being able to actually read and understand how language works?
Cool cool cool.

Truth still matters. What we say still matters.
Sure, everything's horrible right now and me reacting to this is prolly misplaced anger while my feed is full of fascist nightmare news I can't do anything about. But I'm not incorrect, nor was this Zabka person. Though maybe I need to go touch grass.

Saying "I've never personally encountered something like this *in a specific period of time*" is fully different than saying "Something like this has never happened ever," which is my point.

Exactly. I'm pretty sure this Christian music exec is fully aware of huge 20th century breakthroughs like the success of Amy Grant and Jars of Clay.
But her quote's saying "In the *21st* century, I've never encountered a moment like this."
"Correcting" her seems like complaining just to complain.
