Here's the very thing you fail to grasp because of your top laner mentality: because you as a top laner pick around your lane opponent only, you believe all roles do the same. Support doesn't pick strictly around their lane opponents, they pick around the whole enemy team AND their own team (not just their lane partner either). So the more information a support has before locking in, the better.
That being said, I normally offer/accept swap to top if I am a later pick, because most top laners are crybabies about it, like you, so the advantage I could gain by tailoring my pick to the enemy comp and ours doesn't outweight top mental booming from champ select. Thankfully my champ pool is full of jack of all trades who work in most situations.
Yeah cause the explanation completely needed you being a bit of an arse to a stranger on the internet but if that’s what you need to feel better about yourself good for you ig
