Most of the graphic EQs used by vintage lovers introduce various types of distortion, screw with phasing and affect frequencies outside their labeled bandwidth. I believe DSP now does it much better, but I quit using EQs many years ago. The last thing I'd ever want is the once-ubiquitous Loudness toggle. It doesn't bother me in the least what others believe, dis-believe, or implement for their listening preferences, and yet someone will likely accuse me of disdaining their paradigm. What I believe and do is no skin off anyone else's nose, nor does mine get out of joint based on their approach.
