I'm with you. I get wanting a nice looking bike all else being equal, but especially for a bike like this that's meant to be a practical, affordable, take anything anywhere rig, form following function makes a ton of sense. In the end, a bike that rides well and does what you want it to do is a beautiful bike.
I'd take a top tube hump to have a water bottle and low stand over any day. And truthfully, I don't think it looks too bad.
