Objectively? That's wild. Filets are for the ladies that don't like the taste of beef. Yes, that's intentionally hyperbolic to play into your comment about people looking down on filets, but there is some truth to it. Filets just don't have much flavor. I guess if you're fancy you can say that they are subtlety flavored, but outside of their texture, there's just nothing there that gets me excited. The cap of the ribeye, on the other hand, is the most flavorful bite of beef there is and maybe my favorite bite of food period.
As far as gristle goes, if you're getting gristle in your ribeye, that's just an indicator of shitty quality meat. I never have gristle in the ribeyes I buy and cook at home. Now, if you're getting one at Outback or Lone Star, then you get what you pay for.
