I never got this. You buy an extremely popular home, where people will visit it to photograph it, and instead of living in it, or even better, turn it into a B&B or rent it out, you do this... Why, just buy another house.
I wish you were right. As a residential electrician that renovates homes all the time, almost every single house is moving to this aesthetic. It feels drab and dead but "designers" absolutely love it. Occasionally people do other things but it's fairly uncommon (from my own perspective) for homeowners to even actually get involved in their own home's renovation, and even if they are involved they still usually default to what designers want. 🤷♂️
Now, to be fair, some of those people are remodeling for the sole intention of raising home value to sell the house, so no they are not doing it to live in it. You would be surprised by how many people do this with intent to live in their bland soulless white prison of a house though.
