Heart or lack thereof will always show through, but you shouldn't damn creators for a bit of target audience research. After all, your heart is not where you'll find the money to pay for an additional graphic artist. It's important to have some idea if you can re-coup your investments.
EDIT: I think the poll should have "music and dense atmosphere" as one of the choices (also suggested by Schneckchen). When I play something like Scratches or Outcry (and the majority of slower-paced 1st person games) those 2 are key elements of the overall experience.
