Lets take your reasoning and apply it to other situations. Then we can see how you will respond to other people's creative efforts and individual preferences. Let's start:
What about... car modders that crop the top or lower the chasis or add a door where their wasn't one. You respond: "Gee wiz, they took a perfectly good Impala or Civic and changed it! They shouldn't do that!"
What about... remodeling a kitchen to enhance it's beauty, throwing out the perfectly good counter tops for granite. You respond: "What a waste of time and money. Everyone found the previous counter tops perfectly usable!"
What about... filling in a backyard swimming pool because they'd like a bigger yard and don't swim very much. You respond: "Hey that pool was great! How dare you think that grass and a garden is better than a pool! Millions of people would love to have a swimming pool in their yard!"
What about... putting pineapple on pizza because it tastes good. You respond: "Pineapple is not a traditional ingredient on real italian pizza! You should not ruin the historical flavor loved by so many!"
What about... adding an array of solar panels to their house roof even though it will take many years to ROI the cost. You respond: "That's stupid since electricity is so cheap anyway. They should have waited until solar technology is cheaper. Besides, they're ugly up there!"
What about... writing poetry. You respond: "Poetry never sells. Romance novels and science fiction are much better to read and understand anyway. Hardly anyone reads poetry."
What about... performing songs for your friends and at the local cafe once in a while. You respond: "There is plenty of good enough music out there, loved by millions. No reason to risk rejection and not get paid much to boot! Keep it to yourself."
How's that? Nice life you got there with that attitude. I think you can keep it.
