A bad experience with a toy pyramid as a kid? On a more serious note I agree that it is not aesthetically pleasing. I put this down to it not being rendered in a manner that lets us see how the shape works (e.g. lighting, shading etc.) so it just seems artificial making it hard to see what 's going on. I've never seen one of these in 3D before either but in 2D I didn't find it that appealing either because of the way it reduces in size as it repeats fractically - it seems messy.
