> Forget the health effects and whatnot, but are people not bothered by cooking smells pervading the house?

Being very honest, no, not really. From all the issues I can encounter in a house the smell of a meal cooking is not one of them.

The issue isn’t odors during the cooking process, the issue is odors pervading the walls, fabrics, and other fixtures all around the house such that it causes an odor at all times.

Odors are spread this way through oils. All lingering odors mean greases have permeated the tissues of the building. It's quite foul, but I have observed many people to live this way.

Or if you by accident just burn something.
