unfortunately this is one of those things where if enough people think it is, it is.

Whether it's "worth" it is up to you . Many collectors don't want refinished things because often the person doing it makes it look like anus. Generally however they are valued less and the prices should reflect that. That's why you should look online to compare prices and models. If you like it and want it you'll buy it. However have a good look at the dials to see if there's a sloppy, thick, paint job and look at the cases and crowns to see how badly they've been polished. If you see details rubbed away by some tard and buffing wheel compared with an un-restored example again the price should reflect that.
Crowns: with vintage watches the crowns are often replaced. Don't want to buy an example where the original is supposed to have a signed (logo'd) crown and yours doesn't because it's some random spare someone scrounged in their bits box for, or the logo has been rubbed away by the tard at the polishing wheel.

why do ""people"" keep wanting to """"clean""""" vintage watches?

STOP. IT. Stop trying to ruin watches. STOP.
