Also agreed. It's a bit presumptuous to declare that your product possesses such subjective qualities.

I also wonder why someone would make a product that's not beautiful and delightful. It may not end up being beautiful or delightful for the users, but someone somewhere thought it was, right?

No, it's just priorities and trade-offs. There are lots of things that may be a higher priority than "beauty". Beauty is expensive. Often it has good ROI, but not always!
