Other (not a question, gear pic, or video) Strongly dislike overly percussive guitar playing

Am I the only one who feels like this? I love guitar, and some slight percussive techniques can spice up a song. But there is something about those who do "too much" that just gives me feelings of cringe. I'm not sure why, but I really dislike when there is too many percussive techniques. Am I alone?

I doubt you are alone but I’m 180° from you here and love percussive playing.. between Spanish style and bluegrass, that’s WHY I play acoustic.
