There is always an aspect of personal taste in the decision as to what sounds best to an individual. There is no absolute sound that will sound best to everyone. People listen to different music and no one system does every music style best. People listen in different ways and to different things in the music. Often what complements one aspect of the sound won't complement every aspect. Given the same system and 2 different listeners, both of whom aren't quite happy with it, the odds are that what makes one happier will make the other unhappier. What is an improvement to one may well be a step backwards for the other.I don't think any manufacturer deliberately makes products which 'degrade' sound. They make products which have their own sound, the sound that the manufacturer thinks is best and there is an element of personal taste and choice in that on the manufacturer's part. There's nothing wrong with that. If your views are similar to the manufacturer's, you will probably think their products are good. If your views are very different to the manufacturer's you will probably think their products are bad.
Be grateful for the variety of products that exist. It's large enough to ensure that everyone can find something that appeals to them. If every product was exactly the same there would be no choice and a lot of people would be quite unhappy with the results forced upon them.
