Sacrilege of Modern architecture's high priest

I saw in today's Sunday Times that Norman Foster is going off to live in an 18th century chateau in Switzerland. Hey, I admire his taste. But, why do the rest of us have to carry on trying to like (or pretend to like) all the ugly glass-and-steel modern stuff that he and others designed, when he turns his own back on it? (Aside: when I looked at Foster's Wikipedia entry, linked-to above, the news article that I also link to, was already linked-to from the Wikipedia entry! I admire Wikipedia's efficiency.)
