Okay can somebody explain the appeal of 4/4 to me?
Isn’t that just the “default” rhythm for most music?
Why though!?

It’s just easy and intuitive. It’s a steady beat, and then you halve the intervals and halve those again.

Triplets are also quite common.

Right but like… It’s not good.
I mean I understand you might prefer other rhythms but now you’re just being edgy :D
I just think 4/4 is for musically illiterate children.
Haha! Now you’re just taking the piss. Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and any number of modern composers have composed plenty of music in 4/4. Whatever bias you have against western music, there’s no denying they knew their shit.
People have been fucking their children for thousands of years too. I guess that makes fucking children good.
