Eh, I used to think the same thing about coffee, but here I am with a grinder and a plunger. Instant coffee is okay at a push, but the taste improvement is massive, especially when grinding your own coffee (you can actually taste the flavours they claim to put in there). As for tea flavours, the difference is usually just the addition of herbs and spices.
