Interesting, I can understand the dislike of both by people who may be sensitive to some specific tastes of both, but I wouldn't say those flavors are similar - peppers can be offensive since they have bitter medicinal notes, and corn has this buttery/corny/foxy flavor (beyond the general grain and starch flavors which I doubt are offensive).
Also, using (mild) fresh or dried chilies is a great alternative to bell peppers.
