I can understand it being annoying to some people, but although I'm not particulary trying to reach realism myself, I do like to see what others can achieve.
A simple 2D drawing can have more artistic impact on me than a photorealistc interior which took many hours of modelling & rendering to create. However, I do appreciate the work people put into it.
I love to see variety in art, even if it means some people going too far with it.
