“This orange sucks. I can’t just bite into it and enjoy it like an apple.” That’s not a sensible assessment of the orange. That’s applying the desired attributes of an apple to an orange.
Are you confusing “can’t” and “can, but is fruitless” (pun intended)?
Like, if someone says to you “you can’t put nails in with a screwdriver”, are you going to say “You totally can. Just whack the nail with the handle. I don’t see the problem”.
Or, like, “You can’t eat crayons” do you respond “sure you can. chew it up and eat it. i don’t see the problem. it’s just like a cookie”

Ok but thats still a comparison??? Yes they’re different fruits and served differently, however fundamentally those are still comparisons in itself.
