Because that's the way it is supposed to be done. NOT!
Long ago someone tried a long exposure on a waterfall and decided they liked it. Others decided it was incredibly creative and 'Arty' so they copied it. Then it became the thing to do. Then it became the only way to do it at least according to some 'experts.'
Any fool can do it. it takes considerably more effort to give the water some motion blur without turning it to silk.

This said if I had photos on the wall that out sold some almost like it - I would have far more of those that sold first.
no matter what my opinion was.

You are right. That's called marketing! Somewhat like color or B & W. Both can be OK.

Hey, this sounds like what I've been saying about Apple and Steve Jobs all these years. :-)
Okay, wait a minute... are we going from milky to silky now? :-)

OK, I do that a lot.
I fell for the say "Silk" five times and when asked what do cows drink I said, "Milk!"
I must be getting older. :oops:

The secret to that is variable shutter speed.

The truth lies in perception. Airplane propellers and waterfalls and helicopters look unnatural when "frozen" If video looks good at 30 frames per second then your "biological shutterspeed" is in the neighborhood of 1/30 second, realizing that the eye is not hampered by a "shutter". You can use timing extremes to good effect. freeze a hummingbird's wings or pile on neutral density filters and shoot wind generators at 1/3 second.

Well said, to say do you do that seems a bit harsh as noted in op.

It's all in the eye of the beholder. Each photo has to stand on it's own.
