George,

Your points have a fair amount of validity, but please consider that
Fugue
is an Ultima variant and should be judged as such--comparing it to Chess
is not nearly so valid as comparing, for example, Tamerspiel to Chess.

As for 'Because I like it . . .', ulimately this is the basis for every
design decison I make. Any activity persued for fun rather than profit is
subject to this criteria--and I've never known a CV inventor to get rich
from his games.

Now you make like a design decision because it conforms to design ideals
that you believe in (and the ideals you list are good ones IMO), while my
liking may be more subjective--but nevertheless, we are both submitting
our decisions to the same final authority--our own respective tastes.
