Just for the sake of arguement, sometimes I do just to watch the combat. Sometimes I even pop into the first person mode when there's not much to do. Though its an issue of diminishing returns I agree since you don't get to see it most of the time.
For arteeesus, its always been the effects that need to be top notch rather than unit detail anyways. Remember the fog in STW? People still talk about how awesome the weather effects from Shogun were.
