Mostly just aesthetics. They are visually busy, where the eye wants to see the smoothness of sky, and they can’t be cleaned. If you bump or mar it, it dings easily and can’t be repaired, and crumbly white stuff falls to the floor and causes the dust mites living in the carpet to develop asbestosis.
