It's true lot of people do the outlines still on paper, but when it comes to filling it in or doing final touch ups, it's standard now to use a computer. It would be stupid not to. It's way faster to do it on a computer than on paper. I'd be surprised if you can show me evidence that proves otherwise. Even an article back from 2007 says it's typical to color/finalize in computer and it's talking about mangas.
Finishing touch-ups and coloring, sure, but the tones are usually applied by hand. I can't give you any evidence other than a first-hand account of seeing other semi-experienced artists doing it in the circle I was in in 2008-2009.

But that's the point! Everyone does what they like because it's their hobby. Who is anyone else to say that they should do it differently?
Because it destroys the artwork and I believe most people do it out of ignorance.

If you hate "crappy cleaners" telling you what to do. Why would they like having anyone else telling them what to do?
They take an extra step to water the art down. All I do is present the art as it was originally printed.
All I can do is present my opinion and hope they come to agree eventually that what they're doing is wrong. They're just as free to present an argument to me as to why cleaners should filter the artwork and ruin minute details.
