Fortunately, taste is nothing anyone needs to justify, it's not like judgment, which is only as good as the supporting evidence.
People are free to like what they want without penalty, and at worst all one can say is that there are some
tastes that deserve a beating, but it's only words.
I also see dissimilarities. Metallic blue and metallic gray look, to me, a lot better than the non-metallic counterparts.
Also, I only have ONE titanium bike, so for me it's all new, and a good contrast with my other bikes. And, any and all, other titanium bikes out there do me no harm. I never see titanium bikes bunched up, like flies on dung, so I am usually riding pretty.
Kind regards.
And almost all cars today look the same, and a Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Corvette have that cheap plastic looking sameness. Even movies and TV shows have the same themes year after year after boring year, just change the actors, put more cuss words and sex into it and change the background scenes and call it a new show....boring.
Anyone could take a titanium bike down to an LBS that offers bike repainting and have it custom painted any color you want, at least then it would be a different color but it would still look like a bike like everyone else rides on.
