MODERATORS
I don't mind it, unless it is just really shit rice (Taco Bell's rice comes to mind,) but overall I do see it as more of a filler and I'd be perfectly happy without it being in a burrito.
Mmm that reminds me. I know what I’m getting for dinner now😁
Should? IDK if it should be, but I do like it in one. I could take it or leave it. I don't think it really does much aside from make it more filling. Everything else in the burrito usually completely overpowers rice; even if it's a well seasoned Spanish rice.
If the eater likes it, then yes.
For me? ...meh. I wouldn't mind it, but I'd rather have another filling instead. (Including caponata. Caponata in flour tortillas is awesome.)
I'm not especially married to it and wouldn't choose it over beans, but I don't think that it's especially bad.
But, I mean, your burrito is coming in contact with your tongue and going down your throat, not mine. If you don't like it, hey, go with something else. I don't think that there's some global "should" that applies to all humans on food preference.
Absolutely.

It's traditional to have it, so to "should?" the answer has to be "yes". I don't usually bother when cooking at home, though.
Not traditional in burritos where they were invented, but not a bad addition anyway
Where... do you think burritos were invented, if not Mesoamerica?
Burritos are a recent invention from Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua, where they are usually just made with stews of different types, usually including meat of different types, beans and hot sauces, or milder ones. Vegetables are included sometimes but not always.
In Mexico, south and central america in general they are not that popular except in the northern states, and recently they are being introduced there but usually what they get is an americanized version for american tourists that want to "try local burritos" which aren't local in the most popular tourist places.
This americanized version is the one that started including rice, I think by influence of other wraps and dishes from all around. To be entirely honest, I like both types of burritos, they are great with and without rice, but rice is not "traditional" at all in burritos.
Besides, in mesoamerica there was no rice, it was introduced from the old world as far as I know.
