It's exactly the reason that we should not build anything that is a reactionary blurb, like "ooh, looks like a space ship", from the lay person. It would create a world of superficial nonsense, that would wear thin on the second glance.
Thankfully, there are visionaries, educated architects, etc., that make many of the most important decisions. Just as with law, medicine, even web design, we need those that are part of the profession, those with knowledge and experience, to guide the rest of the world.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case, as proven by all the bs mediterranean crap sprawled across America, etc., etc.
Education is the key, not 'what the people want'. The people want what the are told to want by television, by advertisements, not by intellectual contemplation or understanding.But that's not to say something can't 'look good', it just needs to be more than skin deep.
