Fair points and agreed.

My mom always responded to “I don’t like/want to to that” with “How can you not like it without even having tried it/to?”

Reflecting on that, it makes sense now.

But it’s not like you can “trial” children before committing to it like a car or a subscription.
At best it can be tested with a pet like a dog or something else.
I can enjoy children but only for a limited time and after that I am done with it.
And I usually hear fresh parents talk about the lack of sleep, amount of increased duties, chores etc. etc. and the good aspects are very few (of which those are mostly not interesting to me).
A relative has brought a new family addition into the world. The baby is cute and all but I can’t bring myself to care about it in the toddler phase.
Once it hits maybe the age of 6 or 8 when one can do something with it, they become more interesting to me.
