Separately, there's almost always a tool specifically designed for each individual job.

Can you turn a bolt with a multitool?
Yes, but very uncomfortably, because of the way the pliers on many multitools are designed. They can do it though, but if you had any chinesium wrench set, it'd finish up quickly. Even better, using a ratcheting wrench would make it go by in a flash... or speed handle, or drill with proper attachments, etc. Should we discount the use of multitools? No, but many tasks can be done faster with a specialized tool.

The same goes in the kitchen as well. To make tomato juice, I can just throw em in a vitamix and be drinking it in 30 seconds.

Or I can go your very spartan route, and crush them all, one by one, in my mortal and pestle.

Now if your argument is "there's not enough space in THE kitchen for every tool/utinsel/gadget for each task", then that's reasonable. But, maybe they value their galric press more than they'd value a set of circular pastry cutters, because they use more garlic than they do rounded cuts of cookie dough. That's their choice.

Now if your argument is "there's not enough space in MY kitchen for every tool/utinsel/gadget for each task" then all I gotta say is quit being poor. Complaining about "consumerist decadence" isn't going to help your lack of kitchen space, comrade.
