Of course it's fine to have preferences. I think you missed the nuance. Bikeshedding implies the time is wasted because the topic wasn't important in the first place. The color of the bike shed, as it were, has nothing to do with the storing of the bikes.
I am equating the nerve that develops in people that get lost bikeshedding (wasting time on inconsequential parts of the problem) with fighting an llm on inconsequential implementation details.
We most certainly agree: what matters should always be the actual requirements (functional, security, performance, etc.) You can't bikeshed an important topic. Everything else is implementers decision. In my experience an experienced engineer understands the difference and trusts implementers to make the decisions that they do own.
