I'm baffled that people actually think coffee tastes good. The stuff is gross. I can only handle it if it is fake like a Tim Horton's French Vanilla. It barely tastes like coffee because of the sugar in it.

I view coffee like steak. If you need to add steak sauce then it’s not good steak.Many would argue that if you need to add anything to coffee then it is not good coffee. I'm not exactly in that camp as I do add cream & sugar.
While I personally love the taste of coffee not everyone drinks it for taste. Kind of like beer. It's not necessarily delicious but it does it's intended job quite well.

I think beer is a good analogy. You need to develop a taste for both before really enjoying them. I can't imagine anyone drinking coffee or beer for the first time and thinking "Mmmmm!"Kind of like beer.
I’ve never been drunk in all my 69 years either. The closest I ever came was when I was about 16 and lived with my parents. They went out for New Years and I was alone and feeling sorry for myself so I downed an entire tumbler of vodka. I simply went upstairs and went to bed!
While I do drink, my mother’s heavy smoking instilled a strong dislike for smoking. To this day, I have never smoked anything legal.For some reason, although I have no problem with anyone else drinking around me, in addition to never acquiring a taste for it, I actually don’t feel “adult” enough to drink myself. One of the most uncomfortable places for me are bars. It is funny, because alcohol was everywhere in the house where I grew up, and I probably would not have recognized my parents without a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other (I have never smoked either!)

I drink myself (in moderation of course), but like you, I am very much a nonsmoker.

However, your aversion to it is personal and we all find something gross that other people love.
You must not be a cat owner. Just as much variety there as with humans, in my opinion.
Why does CVS continue to cut down a whole tree to give me a receipt?
