I don't get what you mean.

What's the purpose of a presentation, and why can't it just be generated?

If colors and animations convey meaning, there's no reason not to include them in the generated UI.

I have used many aggregators that let me use features from a handful of services, and never have I missed the diversity of presentations of all the base services.

> Arguing that computer ux should solely be driven by the needs of interface without concern for presentation is like arguing that all print media should look like unillustrated pages from a research paper.

Unless I don't understand your definition of presentation correctly, and ignoring the absurd idea of avoiding illustrations in a research paper, I don't see a problem with this.
