As one of the people who made a PR trying to unify the chef dispensers across maps (and had it subsequently closed), I personally find any sort of decrease in functionality in some maps vs other maps odd. Part of why I don't like playing on Atlas as much as other maps, for example. I'm very much of the mind that if something is on one map, it should be the same on all the others. So either make all maps have one (which is what I tried to PR) or remove them altogether, if reducing interdepartmental cooperation is such a problem. Both options seem fine to me, but this odd middle ground of having them on some and not others is strange to me.
Plus, not even all chef dispensers on the maps use the same ingredients list (see PR #17062 for details).
Botany, sort of like chemistry (and to an extent, cargo), is a department that should definitely be cooperating with others. This much, I'm on board with. There have been proposals for botany-kitchen interlinks/request consoles, which just haven't been PR'd yet, but most likely will see light of day within the year.
I feel like if the chef dispensers are to be removed entirely (or better, carefully picking the ingredients available from it so that botany interaction is maximised, leaving some reagents still available), it would be nice to have something that aids the kitchen in requesting things from botany. After all, having fruits launched through the mail system, while funny, can lead to a huge mess, etc.
That's just my 2 cents on the issue, though. Seeing as people not in the know about this such as mintyphresh and myself try to make pr's fixing this, and it will definitely happen again if nothing is done.
