I question the premise. Do MOST people really dislike the date? Or, do you just make a note of those complaints that you read and hear? I'd argue that MOST people like having a date, but don't go out of their way to say it.

11 in my collection, I don’t own a piece without a date

I have a lot of watches and I don’t like setting the date. AM/PM is annoying.

Aesthetically I also think most date windows are half assed, but sometimes they are done well and enhance the overall dial.

This is a really good point, and I've never thought about it that way. Thank you for this.
