Nothing wrong with that. There are other ends of the spectrum of "make the things I do often as easy as I can", too. Both work.
It reminds me of my father; when he got in a car that wasn't his, he would NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. You couldn't tell he was in it. Safety issues aside, there's an argument to be made to make it as comfortable for you as you can; seat, mirrors, environment, etc. to minimize any distractions.
I see this too in my (software development) communities; some people like to tailor their development experience to the n'th degree to extract as much personal enjoyment/optimization/etc. out of it as they can. Others like to use whatever they're given and be happy with that. Both work.
Myself, I type for a living so I like to use keyboards I like. I bring my own with me in my "go bag" for when I'm out so I don't have to use the (IMO!) crappy Apple Laptop KB's. I /can/ use it, I just choose not to. Other people either like them, or have learned they don't care enough. All good.
