It's mostly snobbery involved if someone is going to get bent out of shape because someone used a factory patch from a synth. If I'm looking for a Reece or Hoover sound, yea I can build one, or I can use a patch that already produces the sound I'm looking for. The end result is the same.
Complaining about that while overlooking the fact that a lot of people use Reece and Hoover basslines in, for example, electronic music, is contradictory at best.
