Credit where credit is due, they appreciate all sorts of bikes, just prefer to ride something they're used to (which is absolutely the correct thing to do).
My motivation for building my (rando-esque) bikes or doing audaxes is very Freudian. The paternal issues go away when a tired MAMIL in a PBP vest leans over to examine my bike from a polite distance and compliments me on the 'job well done eh' while I'm sitting down on the gas station curb eating my ice cream pretending my legs are still fresh after 8h of riding.

Have they tried good tyres, or are they just a stubborn old git?
