I don’t 100% disagree with this, but what was aesthetic today relied in part on the practical technology of the past. The instinct that everything should “look like what I am used to” is causing real harm for dubious benefits here. Roofs are infrastructure. Imagine if someone said that about bridges, preferring stone arches to steel cables and limiting us from making longer and safer bridges on those grounds. I actually think the solution here is to have the people who care about this buy the roofs they want to look at, (possibly through the state if need be), pay to subsidize some kind of aesthetic compromise, or stop complaining.
