It seems a bit silly to me from the other angle, in that the author has chosen to write it in a particular way because that's the way they felt it best to convey their story.

I'm about a million miles from being an author, but I'm old enough that I have, what I would think, is a recognisable style that I'm comfortable with, and changing my approach would end up negatively affecting the quality of the writing because it comes less natural to me.

Authors will find their own level as much as readers will.
