Always the first thing I turn off, but surely there are some people out there that actually like it. If you're one of those people is there a particular reason?

Best and most correct answer here ... and this comes from a guy that hates motion blur and lens flare

The best and most correct answer is "let's just sit in silence and not discuss why we like or dislike things"?

Are you from the Midwest? That's a super duper Ohio answer right there.

My general life experience since leaving the east coast is that westerners would rather talk about hiking and farmers markets than anything that is actually real and Midwestern folks would rather avoid conflict at all costs to the point of being somehow more passive aggressive than people from Seattle. Ohio, specifically places like Cincinnati, is the poster child for the Midwest.

If you want "more of an answer" this question is already loaded to be implying that leaving motion blur on is the wrong answer. What kind of discussion could you possibly have around this? "I like how the blurred images fly past me" vs "I think you are wrong, clear images only club!".

This isn't something that will grow someones understanding or open up a whole new idea to them. Anyone can go click the button on and off, compare, and make a choice. If you were discussing what preferences someone had for a receipt and how they substitute ingredients for more/less savory, that makes sense for discussion. This does not.
