This made me suddenly think: but I see them both in the same museum, where they use the same lighting and they both hang on the walls.  Do they use different frames?  Perhaps, but a frame is like part of the art, not a way to view it.

When I hear people talking about a system optimized for jazz or classical, etc., aren't they really saying the neutrality has been compromised with additive or subbtractive distortions to augment or enhance the characteristics of the particular musical genre?  By definition, a system so optimized may very well be deviating from the path to audio neutrality in so doing.
