A simple question but maybe not.

Maybe it has something to do with all those green boxes of Velvia they sold in the last Century. After seeing Red Poppies turned nearly purple presented as "Stunning" may explain it.
Every artist chooses his or her medium and palette. Their vision may be rendered in B&W, or Sepia, or full color as in watercolor, Acrylic or oil, or markers, or pastel chalk, or pencils or, charcoal, or my favorite, Oil Crayons.
Film photographers chose their palette by selecting their "materials" such as film and printing paper and processing chemistry. Digital photographers choose their palette electronically, some of those choices are on the in-camera computer and others are on their post-processing computer. And, then we have the whole world of printing materials and inks, and papers and nozzles and more.
Sometimes photography makes Sculpture look easy.
It is all about what YOU see and how you represent and interpret it to your viewer(s). And for sure it has to be rewarding and fun.

I grew up using Nikon..FM's FE's etc and Currently I have a D90. I've seen a lot of photo's with a lot of oversaturation. I'm from an artits background and I like the ability to do and feel how you want. My question is when I look at photos that are over processed or the saturation is huge...these photos look flat to me. They loose their artistic touch and their depth. I know art is subjective but maybe I'm getting old.
I don't see what your question is, but I can tell you that when I tried to acquire an artits background, I was nearly arrested.

Over saturation is a tool that can work if done right. Not everyone will like it, but some people will like it a lot. One UHH poster who I think uses oversaturation very well is Scoutman. Here's an example of his pics.

Below is an example of an oversaturated pic I posted in a recent UHH photo contest and got zero votes. So not many people liked it, but I did and I got a bunch of positive comments from my friends and wife.
I guess it depends on your point of view and experience. If you like impressionism and surrealism and modern art, I think you may just like some oversaturated photos. If you are strictly a fan of realism, then it most likely won't appeal to you.
