It's assuming people will always go "Oh wow new thing!" as opposed to something they actually like. See: Sparkling being slightly harder to come by than RR.

I mean, "oh wow new thing!" is specifically what I feel is the appeal of those rando in-between forms in the first place. People buy them up because oh I think they look cool and it's new, and then stop caring within a few months especially when they get the final form. I rarely see them in anyone's collection unless the person specifically is collecting every form, or as a random curiosity thing.

I can't think of any SHF from Ex-Aid onwards that was particularly underdetailed or not very clean? Not counting stuff like gimmick item details anyway; or the odd issue like Para-DX's eyes. Again, Rabbit/Tank looks just as good as the later releases to me.
