I think these images kind of answer your question-- you certainly don't have to like them, but they represent an artistic decision this photographer has made to present the subject matter in a certain way.  And the camera helped by offering a mode that supports particular qualities (vignetting, etc.)in the output.

There's a lot of talk here about features we want or don't want in our cameras. The advice is always that having lots of features helps to create cameras that appeal to a variety of users, and for us as individuals to ignore the features we don't want.  If you don't like the toy mode, then don't use it.

On the other hand, I'm mightily intrigued.
