People are nostalgic for the pixel art made specifically to look good on CRTs.

It’s like sometimes preferring 24 fps cinema or oil paints over photography.

It depends on what’s being displayed.

Yeah, I don't think anyone is nostalgic for doing spreadsheets/word processing/etc on CRTs.

The utilitarian POV will always look for the best (less noisy/most accurate/most reproducible) medium possible. But when it comes to art, many other aspects factor in, and a little bit of noise can very well add something to a piece. Not always, but often enough.
