Why can't it be subjective?
What you're saying is subjective but you're acting as if it is objective.
you keep using the word objective and i'm not sure you know what that word means. these are subjective comparisons that you are making. and different people have different subjective tastes.
can you expand on this? How is good or bad not subjective?
No, it's objective. See my reply here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28977485
Here we have a subjective determination of objectivity.
Because 'right' is in the eye of the beholder? It's subjective.

I would reconsider your use of the word "objective" because your comment sounds like an entirely subjective (and anecdotal, and presumptive) perspective on this issue.
Choices are subjective. “Better” is objective
