Well, I don't see how it makes sense to deliberately create a low-quality
image with no technical need (nor technical benefits such as size saving).
I'd suggest it's for roughly the same reason that people still paint paintings when, nowadays, they could just take a photograph. I don't pretend to know much about art, but that seems to be pretty intrinsic to how it works.
The problem is when the artistic touch leads people to thinking their graphics drivers
are defective.
Showing to someone who has just installed a new system some color
dithering from 1990 is not a good idea. Absolutely not for a default choice.
(and this is also the kind of background that can really waste a lot of network traffic
when doing screen sharing)
