At wide open apertures, having it sharp frame to frame is great for test charts, otherwise the spherical aberration is fine for some portraits along with very simplistic and pristine bokeh highlights compared to onioned ones.

I agree. I also like wide open softness in portraits. Though many here will argue that you can capture the sharpest possible photo and make it softer in post process as well. Here is a portrait at f2, captured with 50mm STM. Even at f2, you will be able to see the acnes on her face.
