Cauliflower is actually very bland without help. That's why
"cauliflower rice" has become such a thing.

I saw a recipe video online last week making egg cups with riced cauliflower
instead of shredded hash browns. It didn't look bad at all.

I won't say riced cauliflower is bad, just that it has no appeal to me.
I don't pretend riced cauliflower is a rice substitute. Or a potato
substitute. Or any other starchy vegetable. I like cauliflower, always
have. Without a little something, it's still very bland.

I am not so sure about that. I used to feel that way until the one and
only time I ever had it as a side dish in a restaurant. It was delicious
on its own. If I have not had cauliflower for a while I find it very
tasty, but I have to wait a month or two before I can enjoy it that much
again.
