You keep mentioning these people but, aside from inevitably some troll-like individuals, I think the sweeping generalisation is a little overblown.
Personally, I prefer the modern "Heuer" pieces over the modern TAG pieces simply because the styling is to my tastes. Honestly, I find some of your preferred pieces pretty hideous and I haven't worn a rubber watch strap since I was about 12 years old. But each to their own. My brown leather rally straps would make you gag.
Maybe I'm an old fart. I just don't see the need to call out a section of watch enthusiasts by questioning their logic.
