Well, to me, being forced to read a book that is ragged right is irritating. I don't know if Herr Gutenberg justified his texts, but books have been justified long enough that they just don't look real to me if they aren't. I don't mind ragged right on the web, which has its own imperatives. I suppose that's where the odious practice originated, but I'd read my first couple thousand books before there was a web, so I don't like it.
Among the authors who have failed me in this respect is Daniel Silva. One of his Gabriel Allon thrillers was set ragged right.
