Sour cream is typically just haphazardly dolloped on top of Tex-Mex as a condiment. You can't tell me this is "holding the sauce together":

Spicy butter chicken and not-spicy butter chicken taste exactly the same, but only one of them is tolerable to eat.
That's not a hot take, that's just not knowing what you're talking about. Spicy foods have a different taste, because they are often different vegetables. A jalapeno tastes different from an onion which is different from a radish, etc.
