It's entirely their loss. Coriander/cilantro is very good for sound mental health. Refer to PMC10385770.
If you complain of a soapy taste, you're either using it wrong, or it's your genes, possibly both.

This is a really bad summary of the paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10385770/
To give the TL;DR of the paper:
Psychiatric diseases bad. Coriandrum sativum has some chemicals in it that in some case interact with some things related to some psychiatric diseases.
There are "scarce" (zero?) studies of this, so this "represents an area of opportunity to test the efficacy of the plant as an anxiolytic, antidepressant, antiepileptic, or sleep enhancer."
So: no evidence that it works, just some possible future work.
Maybe it works, maybe it makes things worse. No one knows and PMC10385770 doesn't show either way.

To give the TL;DR of the paper:
Sections 8 and 9 of the paper document how it works. Moreover, references 5 through 13 offer proof that it has been demonstrated to work in diverse species from zebrafish to mice to chicks to humans, basically across the board.
TIL, thanks for this!
