It really does seem like you're the only one who's making a fuss about this. It may be that you're lacking common sense or basic comprehension. Hiding behind the veil of semantics really shows this.

I'm trying to point out something to you that you may never have realized. Certainly, no one else seems to notice it either.

The word "great" is a meaningless word unless it is used carefully. It has no semantic content whatsoever when used in OP's context. To use it in the question strongly implies that the question is asking about some emotional state. At which point, the question is "why do people like their homes".

That has more to do with monkey psychology than anything else, and is a dumb, nonsense question if you do understand it's about monkey psychology and a dumb, nonsense question even if you don't understand that.

Other problematic words in the question also support my assertion.

It may be that you’re lacking common sens

What's "common sense"? From the standpoint of sociology, that's nothing more than universally accepted norms/belief systems. I'd be flattered to be told I lacked those, if only you were clever enough to have meant it.

You're an idiot. That's all I have to say.
