Fair, but there is also the matter of effort. A lot of restaurant classics are just not worth making at home except as a special treat because it’s so much effort at home whereas a restaurant just does it at scale.
Ramen, for example (and yeah many westerners may consider it upscale but it is, in fact, street food) takes a really eclectic mix of ingredients and only a small amount of each ingredient ends up in each bowl. Perfect for restaurants, because they just batch prepare the ingredients and put a little bit of the batch in the bowl, but a ton of work to make at home.

At home one-pot dishes are king.
