I think that's an issue with how people define "clean." It isn't just about surface aesthetics. Think of a cooking appliance that looks "clean" in its design, that might win a designy design award, but accumulates gunk in hard-to-reach crevices because it was only designed to look clean, not designed to be kept actually clean.
