Did Kutkraft lose the plot focusing on efficiency over aesthetics?

Okay, I've noticed a shift lately. Back in the early days (does anyone remember the 'Modular Base 1.0' series?), Kutkraft was all about the beautiful, almost sculptural builds. Now it feels like every video is hyper-focused on efficiency calculations and min-maxing the resource flow. What do you guys think? Is the pursuit of the 'perfect system' killing the creative fun? Discuss.
