From back when we were living in the tall grass our brains evolved to like seeing tbings we know. It used to be berries. Now it is politicians. It is the same thing. In nearly every observable case repeated exposure increases favoribility regardless of context.
Repeated exposure to negative stimuli does not increase favorability. If you burn yourself every time you touch a hot stove you learn to avoid touching the stove.
I have perhaps fortunate news for you about phobias and exposure therapy.
Repeated exposure to negative stimuli does it fact reduce the negative experiences. In your example people build up tolerance for spicy food by eating spicy food and then go hotter.
