The bolded part is a very dumb and arrogant thing to say. First you "acknowledge" we all have different design preferences then you say you don't "get" people who take so much interest in design. What...? Also, no one is even discussing the "design details" as more important than the function (not even the OP), so why are you stirring up nonsense? Some people just really care about certain things, clearly you don't understand that but instead automatically assume it's an attack on your beloved company.
Everything you've said can be summarized in one line: "Well if it works, who cares about how it looks."
