OT1H, kevod Shabbos is a concept that lends itself for absolute or
communal definition, as opposed to the individual's preference.

OTOH, it's possible the gemara means that "because of kevod Shabbos, one
choose it eat their treat that they can't afford to have daily" using
meat as the overwhelmingly common example.

Kind of like a statement of Beis Shammai's understanding of daving
the best of each week's food for Shabbos. (Whereas in Chai H' we ask
for a berakhah "keHillel velo keShammai" -- a glorious Shabbos without
needing rationing.)
