I don't have a problem with other people using them, but it's started this strange trend where everything has LEDs on it, and some stuff (mainly fans) makes it difficult to disable. My case came with four pre-installed fans, which was great until they turned on and blinded me with blazing blue light. And since my motherboard only has one 4-pin PWM port, I couldn't control the LEDs independent of the fans. They were either at full brightness at all times, or fluctuated based on the fan speed.

I ended up cutting the LED leads on all the fans. It wouldn't have been an issue in the first place if LED/RGB stuff was an optional add-on instead of the default.
