Note that most expensive cars don’t have the vibration issues, just the tuned noise.

You missed my point as well, just not as badly. Sure, NVH is part of it, but I'm looking at the the apparent substitution of luxury and high-tech over the driving as 'character'.
FWIW, I personally don't even like loud exhaust systems. Hate Flowmasters. Just give me louder than a whisper and loud enough for my GoPro's built-in mic to pick up the sound at a track day. My '08 GT still has its OE mufflers, and while I'd be OK with a little more volume I'd rather gain the sound character of an X-pipe'd V8 at about the same volume.

I have no idea what you meant by that.
