Are you implying that crystal clarity is an inherently bad thing? Okay, let's flip the argument around. Instead of "Why should we remove grain?" let's ask "Why shouldn't movies have the picture quality of a polished mirror?" And I'm not talking about movies that already exist. I'm talking about for films that have yet to be made.
No, I'm not claiming clarity is inherantly bad. But I'm demonstrating that the opinion that its inherantly good is flawed. They are both simply aesthetic choices.
