Poppycock. Consider the alternatives. They could forgo all the things they
like for the sake of someone who picky and then everyone else suffers, or
they could have a confrontation over it.

I know what it is like. I have had my brother and his family over for
Christmas dinner for the past few years. His oldest one (in his 30s) is a
very picky eater. Luckily he likes turkey and some vegetables. Dessert was
a problem. We had the usual items that are traditional in our family,
Christmas pudding, dark and light fruitcakes, mincemeat, short breads,
brownies, Black forest squares, a few other types of cookies and fruit.
You would think that they were be something for everyone there. The kid
looks at the dessert spread and whines aloud "There's nothing for me. I
don't like any of that stuff." the next year I suggested that his mother
bring something that he will eat.
