I absolutely see your point, but, there are different points of view.
From a scientific point of view. It was amazing that such species, so far apart(apparently not) could actually copulate and produce viable offspring. That was a huge education for many a biologist.
From the pet trade, who knows, that becomes personal tastes. To me, morphs, non normals, albinos, hybrids, are all the same, they are exceptions in nature that will most likely fail, and of personal taste in captivity.
As you know, what is odd to me is, a captive that in no way resembles a wild phenotype and is called local pure. In captivity it was line bred from exceptions to the norm, which resulted in something foreign to nature. Yes, it was in the relm of genotype, but not phenotype. Cheers
