I personally have an affective responsive to towards orthogonal design, meaning that if A does this, and B does that, then if I do A and B together, then I get both their effects. I get a great deal of pleasure from products that do this (many don't). I think it's an engineering thing - most people don't care.
This could contribute to the chasm between "features,reliable,usable,convenient" and "pleasurable,meaningful", if the organization is run by people who already get the latter from the former.
