But why should your preference dictate how everyone sees it, or how the art, irrespective of ANYONE'S preference, should be presented.

That road runs both ways. Why should I be forced to look at those unsightly brush strokes and grainy pictures just because "they need no improvement". And there's a obvious difference between editing the presentation of a piece of art (removing grain and brushstrokes) and editing the content of it (adding Pikachu to Laurence of Arabia).
