Because that statement is objectively incorrect. If it was addictive in the same way to ADHD as people without ADHD, then it wouldn't be allowed to be prescribed. The possible negative total outcomes wouldn't justify the treatment.
No, your first claim was that addictive medications were addictive in the same way. Which is incorrect. If you had said "regardless if you have ADHD or not there is still potential for addiction". Then people wouldn't be arguing with you.
The majority of the issue is that you keep fighting strawman arguments in your rebuttals and not what people are actually claiming is incorrect about your initial statement.
