TIL some people play Civ games for the graphics.

Not graphics, art style. It's a valid critique and not snobbery.

TIL some people play Civ games for the art style, assume that others who notice think it's snobbery, and go on to nitpick nomenclature.

No, you got it backwards. I don't play obnoxious eye cancer games that cause me migraines and look ridiculous. When you go from Civ V with diversified & smaller units that shows basically big armies, to some World of Warcraft-esque eye bleeding mobile game like art style that shows units as a single big cartoon unit, then that's just not what I want from a game like this.
