At the bottom there may be an element of advertising. There's so much code out there, and labels such as 'beautiful' and 'elegant' make an app stand out - in a similar way that a shampoo bottle having 'extreme pro plus' slapped onto it might. That and hipster prestige.

Mostly true - labels like "beautiful" and "elegant" make an app stand out when those labels are applied by other people, and not the developer of the app.
True, but this style of advertising is straight from Apple's playbook, and it didn't seem to rub many people the wrong way when they did it.
