Because that's what's currently in style. 40 years ago, lots of cutesy vaguely food related patterns and designs was popular, so you were inundated with things like this.
You only think it looks cool because it's vintage and most of its peers are in a dump, so it comparitively looks unique.
In 40 years, modern monochrome/chrome toasters will probably look unique compared to [insert the new standard toaster design].
What you really mean is that you like the design aesthetic of the past more than the current, but theres no difference in degree of personality. They're all mass produced and generic as hell (relative to the time period they were made)

Thanks for telling me why I think something. Here I thought it was my design degree, or perhaps personal aesthetic taste.
