Yeah it's because headphone manufacturers are obsessed with chasing detail, and exaggerating the treble makes phones sound more detailed. More treble wow's you at first, but unless you like that signature the love affair doesn't last long.
But the situation is worse even than you make it out to be. For current production high end headphones there is just the HD650 and LCD-2, and the latter is not mass produced. If a manufacturer really wanted to make it big, they would create a warm sounding headphone that beat the HD650 for the same price. They would literally have 0 competition.
