I have no numbers to back my gut feeling, but I feel that most people building custom PCs are gamers (which welcome the LED colored fans) and those building high end workstations (the market for Threadripper). It does leave someone building a "serious" budget PC with Ryzen with the feeling that they're doing something wrong. Maybe that's the intent.

Even among gamers I’m not sure if the bewildering array of random LEDs is well received as a generality. I’ve built all my PCs for 20 years now and my gaming machines have always been as boring as I could buy and build. My computer shouldn’t be so loud and distracting that it takes attention away from what’s in front of me. Additionally, it’s bad enough to be a computer nerd of any variant and a brightly lit PC with a side window that has some half naked woman on the blower fan would repel most women away from that zip code.
