It's not going to be as good because people don't like it when it's done that way. That's why.

Also, the arts and math are very different things - math doesn't have "works" which people consume for enjoyment. It's a science. Of course there are rules and rights/wrongs. Science is concerned with facts. Art is not.

You don't think there's any real value in internal consistency and using the language in a way that the readers can make sense of? Really? People like these things because a story that's not intended to confuse is better enjoyed in a non-confusing format. I don't like the "consumer of media as creative collaborator" views, but I think a reader's experience IS a part of that work. It's not necessarily that (in an English-language work) proper English is better in itself, it's that if you don't want to confuse, it makes fucking sense to structure your prose within the bounds of how English speakers have been taught to understand words.

Of course it's different, but that's not the point- the point is that talent and practice still apply when strict rules exist, so they can still apply when looser rules that leave room for style and content exist. Also, certain math geeks I know would probably have something to say about the idea that math stuff is never an art.
