Those of us who have been through a few marketing cycles understand that these things go in waves. I hated when black anodization became a thing when I worked at a bike shop. When a black part gets scratched, it's a silver colored scratch. When a clear anodized part gets scratched, it's silver on silver.
Polished aluminum (not anodized) is real pretty until it starts oxidizing. I've pulled and repolished my grillion dollar Compass Rene Herse cranks a couple of times in the past 6 years to repolish them.
