Objectively speaking it does have a much stronger taste than regular green tea. But there many things with strong flavors like coffee and whiskey that has a certain audience.
It's a special form of green tea that is grown in the shade to force it to create extra chlorophyll. This makes it extra bright and vibrant in color. You then grind the entire leaf into a powder and that is mixed with water to make tea.

Probably only likes boring flavors that don't taste like batteries.

People only like matcha because it looks nice. You cannot convince me that anyone likes the flavour of that stuff

I genuinely love the taste, but I'm a big fan of bitter flavours in general

I was pleasantly surprised by a matcha KitKat.

Yeah, no, you're right it's mostly just OK at best. Just hyped.

It really just tastes of chlorophyll.
