I don't think anyone who is anyone is suggesting that protein specifically via a shake is required, but your thread appears to suggest that protein via any other source other than a shake is preferable. This IMO is unsubstantiable.

My main argument is that the average person, eating the average diet, is unlikely to need protein powders. An egg once every few days is a much cheaper/easier option

I'm sure you're not seriously suggesting that "an egg once every few days" provides the required/adequate total protein intake for a fitness enthusiast? Otherwise that's a false dichotomy. I literally just ate 3 eggs and will do again tomorrow, but I'm also gonna have a shake.

That's pretty obviously not what I said, so no.

So you think your average gym-attendee needs to drink extra protein? Because I'd love to see the evidential support there I'm sure it'll be fascinating

Here's a correct take on it: You require a certain energy intake and within that you require at least an adequate protein intake. Better results may be seen at a higher "more optimal" protein intake" within that total energy intake. 1/

is a shake on top of a random / likely already excessive total energy intake conducive to better results? No. But can a shake be helpful in pursuit of appropriate intakes? Yes certainly. Is there a good reason to abstain in favour of another protein source? No. 4/4

(This is, remarkably, very similar to my argument. I'd disagree on the last point due to the fairly good evidence for side-effects from protein supplements although that can be mitigated by being very particular about brands)

It is in no way similar to your argument which suggests there's a reason people CAN'T benefit from supplemental protein &/or that other sources are more beneficial / more preferential. And that you dismiss "may have benefits" but embrace "may have side effects" is laughable.

That's fairly obviously not my argument. I have no time for strawmen, goodbye
