But that would make the deprevation of simchah for the aveilus during
the 9 days on par with *aninus* even for a parent. I would find that
a shocking minhag.

But that requires extrapolating that the reason for meat and wine that
the Rambam gives for Yom Tov is the inverse of the reason for refraining
from those two things on 9 beAv.

I am not sure those who are meiqlin on people who actually like fish or
milchig more to have those for their Yom Tov se'udah instead of meat
would tell them to avoid that food and have meat instead during the 9
days.

(Did the minhag of avoiding wine and meat shevu'ah shechal bo [he is
Sepharadi, after all] even exist in the Rambam's day?)
