This.
If all cars had matte finish then the current shiny OEM paint would be all the rage with the exact same people who are going for a matte look now.
If you take a step back and try to compare shiny vs. matte in a vacuum, it becomes clear that there's a reason why shiny has been the status quo for so long. It just looks better. Matte simply looks different, not better, which is why it is a fad.

It may not be phasing out yet, but like all fads, it will. It isn't bashing to say this, either. Some people like to hop in and enjoy a fad while others don't. No need for people to get upset about it. It would be disingenuous for people with dissenting opinions to not say anything when someone asks for opinions. If no one posted that they don't like it then people who are on the fence might think everyone likes it, yet they'd be wrong and quite a few of their friends would think their car looks cheap after the fact and then they'd have buyer's remorse.
