How much of a thing is this in practice? To me this also feels driven by the expectations of the host towards the guests beeing fully accommodated by them. It's probably a mixture of both.
Like, I'm happy to bring my own food, when invited. E.g. I would presume most vegans would be cool with bringing their own or ordering, as you are used to that anyways.
bringing your own food is an imposition and kills the vibe. If you don't see that, that's part of the cultural gap.
I see that it's currently not culturally accepted, but fundamentally is also a case of entitlement from the hosts part.
