I don't think the hate for the aesthetic is that strong because like you say, do your own thing and most people respect that.
I think there are 'haters' because there is a culture of ignorance attached to that style, the "+5 hp per sticker" and "wings make it go faster" "blown the welds on your intake granny shifting" are not fantasies, there are people out there who believe ridiculous things when it comes to car performance and will argue it to death instead of googling or putting in some effort.

I think the dryness of the presenters is misleading, they are incredibly self aware of what they are doing and the vast majority of it is tongue in cheek. I mean, do you really take a video with a dream sequence involving cameras shooting rainbows and flying valve covers and a baby Ser Davos Seaworth emerging from a rainbow pastry 100% seriously?
