Oatmeal is a grain product, so yeah, adding other things to it to make it more to your personal liking is kinda the point.

This is like saying bread is bad because most people like it in a sandwich.

Wheat is bad because you have to add more than just water to make bread

That's actually not even necessarily true. You can just leave flour around in water and the natural yeast ferments. Then you can throw that in with some more water and flour and it's sourdough. Would be better with some salt though.

Or you can make super depressing unleavened flatbread.

you don't even need yeast, in sweden we have "stick bread" which is just flour, water, baking powder, and salt which you wrap around a stick and grill over a campfire. Perfectly tasty.

Even better with a korv down the hole!

In Canada and Scotland, it's called campfire Bannock.

Yes, no one who says "I love pasta!" is saying that to mean "I love just the pasta on its own without any sauce"

Have you ever had fresh baked bread (even flatbread)?
