Those are not obsolete. They still ship with KDE 4, it just uses Oxygen by
default. So I wouldn't call then "non-native", just "less common".
Call me a hopeless case, but the first thing I do on a fresh KDE is changing
the style to one of those two because I find them more visually aiding than
Oxygen (they have better contrast and are less "flashy").

Changing color is not the only reason to change the style. There are other
subtle differences - e.g. Cleanlooks displays labels on menu separators and
looks almost completely native on Windows (I use it for exactly those reasons
in one of my applications).
If I just wanted to change colors, I'd use a style sheet.

Does this count as loud protest?
