You've misread. I wouldn't dare to and I'm not criticizing someone's personal aesthetic preferences.

I'm commenting on their projection of their desired reality onto the real reality.

What real reality are you referring to? That the iPhone X looks flashy? Thats not an objective truth, its taste.

If someone likes driving Corvettes because they think it looks anonymous and non-descript. Who are you to tell them they're wrong. Its their opinion.
