| Feb 28 at 1:16 | comment | added | aguijonazo | It may be because 利用 is unambiguously an action while 料理 can be a thing? お電話になる doesn't work either. | |
| Feb 28 at 0:39 | comment | added | Eiríkr Útlendi | At least some of the issue appears to be the specifics of the word 料理【りょうり】, rather than the specifics of this keigo pattern. As explained in that Hinative thread, 「お料理になります」 sounds a bit like someone is becoming a particular dish of food, in keeping with the "dish of food" meaning of 料理. That kind of meaning ambiguity doesn't exist for the word 利用【りよう】. | |
