Which is my point. Obviously there's some great stuff in those things you listed, but upon first glance of Minecraft, what most will see is "This crap looks like LEGOs."
Not everyone will appreciate the experimental/stylized. Look at Little Inferno reviews, look at underground film festivals, look at 12 Oz Mouse. And two of those aren't really that far from mainstream.
And my point was that he was wrong (yes, not 'his opinion,' flat-out wrong) to imply that Minecraft's graphics can be improved. They can't. Like Lego, they are perfect the way they are, and the fact that you can now get t-shirts and all other kinds of goods with Minecraft graphics as the inspiration is proof that it's an art style that has resonated in society.
People need to learn to separate the objectively bad (say, Ninjabread man or Onechanbara) from stuff that doesn't resonate with their taste in aesthetics (Minecraft)
