It’s worth pointing out that there can be a distinction between the type of information in signals and the type of information in filters. I think people feel disturbed because they think the filters here are overfitted, therefore are just parroting out memorized patterns of the moon. But if it were a filter that generalized to everything, people would just say “wow the camera sensor is amazing”.
The irony is that the backlash here will just guarantee that they put more effort into making this generalize better, so it’s received as less gimmicky. Whether that’s just putting an enhancement neural network in optical form at the ccd level or something else is anyone’s guess. People say they don’t want detail that’s not there, but to some extent the amount of detail is always being infused with assumptions and heuristics at every level of the imaging pipeline.
