Just because something was done in the past, doesnt mean it should be repeated
Yeshivas used to have EATING DAYS, because there wasnt enough food. Should we go back to those days.
You are supposed to be SIMCHA on Yom Tov, I doubt many people have Simcha eating Gefilte Fish from a Jar, Streits Matza, Borscht , Macroons , Egg Kichel and other “Goodies” of Peseach
