Yes, because the basis of your point is flawed! Just because you can have stupid button styles like that doesn't make them good.
Firstly, I have no idea why you have an issue with having a choice about which style you use. As for the flawed logic, we will come to that in a minute.

The thing with UIs is there should be as little of them as possible, whilst still being optimally usable. They shouldn't be a distraction in and of themselves.
So, the long and short of it is that the simpler the buttontype the better eh? Let me put this to you: The default "shaded" buttontype has a gradient and an outline whilst the tuhopuu buttontype has a simple gradient and nothing more (In the top example at least). I was going to make a intricate example of a complete button window, but time is running against me, so I'll post this simple one instead:

(No fancy colours, just a direct comparison)
You still want to compare these buttons to thick plastic rimmed glasses?
The tuhopuu buttons look cleaner and more professional, as I've said from the very start.
Now, I'll repeat once again, I have no problem with you liking a different style of interface to me, but don't say my logic is flawed when it clearly is not
Considering the coding is already done, give me one good reason these shouldn't be included. "Because I think it's stupid" doesn't count.
