Why the camo grind?

I can't be the only one who feels like the mastery camos this year are ass and aren't even worth grinding for. Arclight is just a poorly animated version of forged from MWIII, Tempest looks like it would be in a supply drop in BO3, and Singularity looks like a mobile game weapon skin. Ironically Shattered Gold is the only camo I could understand wanting to get, and it's not even animated. So what is making everyone grind camos this year? I feel there's even more people participating in the camo grind than usual.
