Capsaicin extract should be banned from food in general.
It’s unpleasant and tastes astringent, unlike the capsaicin coming naturally from peppers.
I’ll regularly eat incredibly spicy foods, I grow Naga, scorpion and ghost chilis, and I love the thrill of these treats, but also the flavor. Capsaicin extract is immediately detectable because the flavor and feel of the heat is different and unpleasant. It isn’t that it’s “too spicy”, it feels bad to eat.
If your heat doesn’t come from a pepper included in the recipe, it shouldn’t be consumed.

It’s probably fine for industrial cooking where it’s being heavily diluted. These crisps don’t use it though.
Is it subjective maybe? Do some people like it?
I’m sure it is subjective. My girlfriend is obsessed with hot sauces and loves adding them to food
If I make me did spicy though she doesn’t add any which I take as a compliment
