Not him but food corporations seeking to facilitate billions off of the word. Doesn't change that its fake, a handful of people who claims to be able to have these special taste buds are full of shit.

Are you confusing it with supertasters, maybe? Most people can taste umami. That's the point of using MSG as an additive.
And let's say, for the sake of the argument, that "umami" is a pretentious name. It doesn't change the fact that glutamates exist, and so do their taste receptors.
Whether people like it or not, and in what quantity, is up to personal preference, but umami is a basic taste. That's not really up for debate.
