It's just the coconut, it doesn't add to the desserts for me. Every now and then there are toasted coconut shavings on some cookies that I like.
But for the most part, I don't like to add anything to, say, my chocolate chip cookies. No nuts, no coconuts, nothing, I like em plain.
Seems like I've always been like that.
Could be that coconut was always put on desserts or whatever and that has turned me off to it.
No issues eating it though, just a taste preference thing.
