Yeah, for most people who aren't obsessive calorie counters I really think eating more fibrous vegetables is the best way for them to make a healthy lifestyle change that would allow them to lose weight / maintain a healthy weight. I do it every time I go on a diet/cut. You can feel just as full eating 1lb of broccoli with a moderate amount of butter and salt (about 300kcal) as you do eating an entire bag of chips (about 1500 kcal).
And making the broccoli is almost as convenient: you can get microwaveable bags that you just zap for x amount of time, empty into a bowl with some butter, add salt, mix and enjoy. Two minutes of actual effort, 10 minutes total time.
I think a lot of it has to do with the way we arrange food in stores, profit margins for food producing businesses, availability (you can't usually get frozen broccoli at a gas station), what food gets marketed, etc. Really if you put even a small amount of effort in getting veggies to taste good they taste as good as most junk food and processed food. It may never taste as good as spicy cheese flavored corn chips but is still pretty good
