This is my thing about all living spaces, including shit like cars. Who cares about the outside, you spend 99.9% of your time inside not outside looking at the thing.
That's nice, until you look outside your window or go for a walk and are surrounded by aesthetically repulsive monoliths of concrete. The art of design can meaningfully improve lives and make dense living something to be celebrated, but that's not what many brutalist projects inspire given how atrocious they are to look at.
