You're completely right about individual preference. But I'm sorry to say that it wasn't possible for the art style be the way it is now from the start.Regarding the preferences to the art (old vs new).. Ultimately, it comes down to individual preference. However, speaking for myself, what initially drew me into this game was the fact that the game's art resembled the art from the show. To me, it doesn't matter if there's "an improvement" to the art. Having the art change midway is not only jarring, but I also feel robbed in a way of the time I put into following this story. If they wanted a different art style, they could've used it for another game. If they were using this new art in the earlier versions of this game, I would not have even bothered playing. I see these new scenes and it makes me think "Who the fuck is this?". Even though I saw the DP series I still enter a pause trying to associate the new art to the character it's supposed to be. This game felt like a continuation of the show and now that the art is changing, it feels like a cheap imitation of it.
As you draw you evolve. The art someone do now isn't equal to 4 - 5 years ago. EVERY AND ALL artists change as they acquire experience. It's inevitable, you'll be better tomorrow than you are today.
Pick any manga, comic, artist page you want and compare their old art with the new ones. EVERYONE grown up.
