On its own it is literally flavorless like water.
But it contains a chemical that enhances certain flavonoids.

This is just incorrect. It has a distinct flavour that can be difficult to identify among many other strong flavours. In that context it just adds a background herby richness that helps bind a dish together. If you make a simple bechamel and add a bay leaf you'll be able to taste it more obviously. Or just take the leaf itself from whatever you're cooking and suck it. It has a goddamn taste.

think of the bæ leaf as creating the canvas anon. if you make a painting on linen vs. rough canvas vs. xerox printing paper the painting process itself, not to mention the end result, are entirely different.

learn to love the leaf anon
