Thos aesthetic judgements are for bike porn, not for actual riding.
It also depends on how much the owner rides.
I am guessing anyone who puts looks first considers a 3 mile ride a long day in the saddle and at that distance you can get away with anything. A Micro scooter is good enough for doing 3 miles!
Start riding any distance with components that look great but are bad functionally and the mind may be changed...
