I exist (allegedly)

it says not plain it says “ornamental.” And while I’m sure there are some people who might use children’s bee plates as an ornament, I can’t imagine that there is very many.
Personal taste, as you basically say yourself.
But beyond all that fancy also means elaborate, which they’re not.
Personal taste. Compared to a plain plate with nothing on it, these are undeniably elaborate.
impressive
Entirely subjective
of particular excellence
This one is the only one where you potentially have a point, since the plates probably are mass produced
decorative
See ornamental.
expensive
Expensive has never, nor will it ever, mean that the product 100% of the time is better.
high quality
They never broke.
EDIT: And even so, the other definitions don’t really matter, as which one you’d interpret the girlfriend to mean is entirely subjective. If he understood it as the one I posted, the others don’t matter.
I’ve seen many a tech-illiterate people try to install things they want on their computer - games mostly. Steam is rather painless these days, thankfully. But things like Solitaire, or maybe some emulator (which admittedly requires a minimal technical knowhow, but see the “make an exe and give it to me” meme) will be difficult for the average user.
Sure, if it’s an older relative, they could ask you for help. On windows they’d most likely not have to.
I don’t think these people can install Windows or are pros at using it either
Just to be clear, I’m talking about a “What if” scenario where its possible to buy a computer with linux preinstalled, similarly to how you can buy one with windows.
Now you’re just arguing that your personal taste in what is fancy or not is objective

fancy
adjective
2 a(1): not plain
Except:
Can 800 year old grandma Doris use the feature? Can the average person who writes comments on YouTube videos? Minion meme posting facebook aunts? If not, it’s not ready for mainstream.

Careful, sure. Many is relative. These are infinitely more detailed than a plate with no decorative pattern. Even with that being said, “careful” is also relative to a bull in a porcelain shop.
Which is why it’s subjective. Important is relative to the person. They sure seem important to OP.
If you take “fancy” to mean “purely ornamental”, then sure. Personally, I would never, and it seems OP agrees.
Even so, if someone is REALLY into bees, I could see them hanging these on their wall. Subjective.
The argument was that “expensive” and “fancy” are unrelated.
The same logic applies the other way as well. Since we don’t know, they could be the sturdiest plates on the planet.
I highlighted the part where you yourself say it’s subjective.
Isn’t that the point of all internet arguments? We’re all the true nobodies fighting over nothing.
