In general, I think that most desires aren't fulfilled on a viscerally emotional level by the mere existence of something so much as actually receiving it. I'm not nearly as fulfilled by ice-cream's existence as I am fulfilled when I'm eating it.
I don't think those people would prefer having their preferences changed in that way.
If you mean they have to get the emotion of a preference being fulfilled, isn't that happiness?
