Your view is just that - your opinion. If other people do happen to like it (and the design of the jet black has been pretty well received, although I definitely prefer matte), the explanation is simply that they don't share your opinion.
It probably isn't that they do share your opinion, but discount it because of the logo.”
I got the iPhone because it was gratis

ex-work phone, 4s in shiny black

. Our company moved to Android as it worked out better for their business needs.
I don't think it's my opinion either, I think it is absolute fact. Anecdotal I know but the company I work for, nearly all the younger people got an iPhone because 'their friends' had got one. I would put that percentage at no lower than 90%. Even if it wasn't true in every single case and you scale that up as being a reasonable representation of other users then it's a hell of a lot.
They are not called iSheep for nothing, there's always some truth behind such statements. Now you make not like it and will in all likelihood attempt a counter argument, however, it is what it is.
