It’s a question of aesthetics. Of course math doesn’t have to be presented this way, but a lot of people like the presentation.
You should make explicit what you are arguing. It seems to me that the cause of your argument is simply “I don’t like the presentation”, but you are trying to argue (rationalize) it as a universal. There is a proper generalization somewhere in between, like “it’s not an efficient way to [something specific]”.
