I tend to agree with you. Why not just line breed the species? You can enhance traits like long petals, wider dorsals, or dark color, and have the added bonus of increasing vigor by selecting plants that can grow, bloom, and set seed in culture. This plant is beautifully grown and flowered, but I’ve seen quite a bit of complex multi breeding the last few years, and I’m genuinely curious what the goal is with these complex lines and repeated backcrosses?
