Is it bad that I strictly play 2 openings and I’m a 1900 rated player?

I only play the Italian game as white, with a great win rate - love the fried liver attack etc. As black, I go for the Sicilian in reply to e4, but also queens gambit declined in reply to d4.

I know the basic theory to most other openings, I just don’t find them fun / not my thing. Thoughts? https://tweakbox.mobi/

It is optimal to always play the same openings. That way you accumulate experience.
Fischer played Najdorf, King's Indian Defence, and Ruy Lopez.
Your Sicilian, Queen's Gambit Declined, and Italian is good.

Same. Italian as white. Caro kann as black.

I’m not 1900 though! Kudos.

     It's not possible to play only the Italian game as white. Less than 2% of games that start with 1.e4 reach the Italian structure. Do you just resign every game where your opponent plays something like 1....d5 or 2.....Nf6? If so your 1900 rating is really impressive. Or do you just abort every game where the opponent doesn't let you play your favorite line?
