Why do people ask touristy questions to locals?

Noob. Repeat after me: All Delhi hotels are good. Delhi food is great.
You get great clothes in Sarojini and Palika Every Delhi tourist destination is worth visiting
Delhi metro is one of the seven wonders of the world Delhi guys are the best, and definitely worth dating and swiping right on tinder/bumble/hinge (whatever GenZ uses)

Apko nahi toh Pradhan mantri se pooche ka?

Totally! Asking a local about tourist spots is like asking a fish about scuba gear. We live here, not vacation here!

My take as local of some city, I feel people know the touristy as well as quirky things to do. Asking party not wanting to put efforts is what kills the vibe.

They can't be like: bro I'll there in xyz city for a week lmk what should I see and where should I visit.

I'm not a full fledged tour guide, can pitch in about safe/risky locality recommendations, places to eat, ways to commute but don't expect to get complete syllabus with points to cross.
