You can order a special vegetarian meal, so I don't see what the problem is here. Can you imagine the chaos if you had 20 passengers trying to have their individual food heated in the galley? I think this is the correct policy to avoid a "slippery slope". Pax who don't like the regular meals offered don't get the option of heating up their own food.
