Because I see design as a proxy to build quality and ergonomics. I'm not shopping for looks while getting my electronic devices, I'm shopping for quality and longevity of the thing in question.

If it's built well, dependable, ergonomic and delivers on the promise it's written on the box, I'm perfectly happy with what I got.

Yes, I have my tastes, like everybody else, but I don't satisfy my taste first and try to fill the specs to that taste. On the contrary, I start with the features and quality level I want, and go from there.
