Because you choose to have a distorted view of reality.
If you fail to maintain your property, it becomes an eyesore. If you destroy others' property, it is vandalism, not art.
Just because some gallery owners and some others in the arts community (numerically many people, but still a fraction of the population) says that graffiti is "art" doesn't make it so.
By the way, in a addition to being a railfan, I enjoy going to arts museums. I also enjoy art in public spaces like transit stations. I do object to seeing graffiti on freight cars, locomotives, railroad depots, transit stations, bridge abutments and walls along railroad and transit rights-of-way.
