I know some folks like the worn out look, but I wouldn't say it's the majority. Obviously I can't know for certain. But general observation over the years I've played gives me a pretty good idea of the shaders people generally like most. In this case, the issue isn't even that some look worn. The color palette is just odd. And two of them are very similar on certain armor when you preview them (Archeoskin and Headless Hues). Reanimated Verve is also meh. I don't recall seeing any statement from Bungie on why Alchemy Scorch isn't available after all this time. It's just been sitting there for how long? Teasing us. Honestly, IMO, the majority of shaders that have come out over the past year or so have been pretty meh. It just seems odd. I know people have been begging for true white or black shaders since D2 came out, but we still haven't got them for whatever reason. I actually like colored shaders, but I typically prefer the clean matte or some of the metallic/shiny shaders because they tend to shade equipment well. Seems like we tend to get a lot that are very similar in color too. Not sure why that is. Like Wayfarer's Guise from this season is pretty similar to some other green shaders. With as much as bright dust items cost, and with the bump in shader price eating into that, it will probably be one of the first seasons I don't just auto-buy every shader. If they were still 40 I would, but 300? For these? Meh.
