The thing here is that while you may hate something, you are forgetting the perspective of where most audio enthusiasts approach this. Let us leave aside the issue that they might enjoy anything regardless of if it is good. The important thing is to remember that they are not buying a philosophy or an entire system of doing audio, just a piece. So, in the very limited parameters of their stereo systems as they exist, replacing a horrible piece of equipment with one that is bad but which brings the overall system into more balance is good. In your system it would be a step backwards, but for them it would be a step forward.
An analogy would be a porterhouse steak. You can explain to them why this is not filet mignon and all its flaws. But the truth is that for the people eating McDonald's for many years, it is a big step up and it balances well with the collection of California Cabernet they have. I think you should not discourage people to buy a piece from you when it will balance their system and improve their quality of audio.
