Because there are these people who buy $3000 wedding dresses, and it's like, what is this, how is there a whole industry around this, *who are these people*--and the visual aspect is again, great, as the outfits are generally examples of great craftmanship albeit sometimes abysmal taste level

Yeah, in general high craftsmanship/low taste, across a number of fields, is a fun intersection to observe from afar--for me, anyway. One could also get annoyed about wasted resources, but it's more fun to revel in the ridiculousness.
