mayonnaise & sour cream are a crime — the Mexicans make it with chopped onion, tomato * cilantro with a squirt of fresh lime — if it doesn’t have those ingredients, then it’s not guacamole — it’s just mashed avocado. Why do Americans always want to dumb things down?

yes--it's more like avocado dip... plus adding the cream takes away from the chunkiness of guacamole... i loathe creamy-style guacamole...

You can have it chunky and still creamy. You add mayo to cream it up but it won’t necessarily get smooth unless you use a blender, if you do all the stirring with a fork there will still be nice chunks. But without the mayo all you’ve got is lumps of avocado with some seasoning around them, no good for dipping, no good for spreading on a burrito.
