To my mind, it's quite logical
Not wanting a device because of the design is seen as OK, because the design will detract from the user experience. The device becomes less useful.
Wanting a device BECAUSE of the design is met with disdain, because it looks like as if someone wants it without having a good use for it; i.e., people think it implies greed.
At least, that's my take on it
