It’s just that that’s not how cuisine is usually understood. But like I said, I wasn’t trying to change your opinion, just noted that as usually defined it does exist.
I don’t know if you think the colloquial use aligns more with what you said, but in Finnish cuisine is just “keittiö” (as in suomalainen keittiö) or ruokakulttuuri.

The concept of say unicorns having sex existing doesn’t mean there are any unicorns anywhere having sex.
There are no Finnish restaurants.
In that sense, there is no “Finnish cuisine”.

You’re just refusing to use the colloquially definition, because you’re Finnish and Finnish dishes technically exist.
