I agree with you, but that's what you have to do to get published. My first PhD thesis was rejected, although my viva saved me and I was given permission to re-write. The second version had mostly the same material, mostly the same proofs, but was written in a style that made it seem harder and more inaccessible. It appeared more impressive, so it made a better impression. Clear, accurate and engaging writing is hard and undervalued. My advice is: learn to live with it. After all, you don't really have a choice.
