I think my issue with the bracelet rivet design has something to do with the fact that they are "fake". I feel similarly about "faux" patina.
they are a design element and thus not fake. Their purpose is just different.

I think it's fair to call them "fake" in the sense that they don't actually rivet anything together. They are supposed to look like structural elements of the bracelet but do not serve any purpose other than aesthetics. I don't think that's a knock on them - like you said it is a design element. If Rolex put a 24 hour hand on a Sub and it wasn't actually connected to the movement, it would be a fake 24 hour hand, right? It would just be there for appearance.
