I'm with you in that ketchup is okay. I just don't like it on my
hotdog nor brat. I just wonder what all the polarization is about?

Indeed. Ketchup is good on hot dogs, hamburgers and perhaps even mac and cheese.

I like ketchup on many things. But it should not ever be applied to a hotdog. Not. Ever.

I'm pro ketchup. It's part of the "holy trinity" of mustard, relish & ketchup that must go on my hot dogs & hamburgers.
Other things that I eat with ketchup are: Mac & cheese (both home made & KD), french fries & fried eggs.

I'm curious why not? When I make a hot dog, usually I put both ketchup and mustard on it. But I suppose it depends on what kind of hot dog - normally I do that with what I'd call regular American hot dogs;
however, if it's a bratwurst, Polish sausage, or similar, I'd be apt to not use ketchup, and just mustard, and sometimes also sauerkraut. But
I wouldn't put sauerkraut on a regular American-style hot dog.

I suppose once you cross the border into saurkraut land, the thought of adding ketchup does seem outlandish. I'll grant you that.

I guess it's the sweetness. Hotdogs are "savory" and the condiments I listed (mustard, onions, relish, sauerkraut) seem to complement that. Sweetness does not go well with any of that, in my opinion.
I know it's meaningless, but here are some articles that support that: :-)

Perhaps you don't have it over there, or it goes by another name. It's pretty ubiquitous in Canada. It's just "mac n' cheese" except slimy, poor quality, fluorescent yellow, and yes, comes as a box of noodles with some powdered "cheese".

Mu wife raises ducks, so we have a never-ending surplus supply of duck eggs. I get to make myself this treat a few times a week.

They're generally larger than chicken eggs and have a richer/creamier taste to them. They're quite good, actually.

I learned to order hamburgers saying "No K Plus O", to get onion added without. Ketchup.
The Topic about ketchup had me thinking back 50 years ago when ordering a hamburger it came with Ketchup AND Mustard. I didn't care for Ketchup being added.

One of my favorite fast food burgers is Burger King's Whopper, which has mayonnaise and ketchup.. It also has onion, dill pickles, and tomato,
and I think the combination of all the flavors is pretty good.

I thought ketchup on eggs was relatively popular.. I do that sometimes, though usually only scrambled eggs.

Over here in NZ we have some sugary tasteless slop called tomato sauce that everyone likes for some reason. Proper ketchup is far superior.

Next to Ketchup, it said "Smooshed up tomatoes - IT'S GOOD!"
Didn't know that, but I can definitely see that being a Mr. Gouda's or Grace product. I'll keep an eye out for it next time I'm in one of
those shops.
I should have said, yes it was a Grace product. I quite like their "extra hot" pepper sauce. It's not quite hot, but has a nice flavour if you like
A good one for having flavour and not destroying your mouth with
capsaicin like some sauces do. I've tried a few of their others, but
that's the one I keep going back to. It's a step up from Frank's in flavour, but on the same spiciness tier.
My favourite hot sauce, which I haven't had in years, was from Stasis Preserves and had ghost peppers and apple cider vinegar among other ingredients. Lots of heat but also a lot of flavour. They currently
sell a "Ghost Chili" sauce which I think is the same thing - but it's
sold out on their Shopify store. :(
