why do people obsess about soy when rice and beans is also a proven, healthy complete protein diet?

so soy is a complete protein, but it also may or may not have lots of negative effects, especially for men. There is the whole “controversy” about it. Meanwhile “rice and beans” have been eaten for the protein by poor people in Latin America since forever, no controversy there. So why do Westerners bother with soy instead of using the tried and true solution with zero side effects?

I like rice and beans fine, but I also like soy, which I think is delicious
in all forms except tofu.

It is hard to beat steamed soy beans in the pod, among other ways
of preparation.
