I guess my concept of beauty has more to do with the structure of the code, how easy it is to extend the current code to something else, the signal-to-noise ratio, etc.

The visual impact of a %>% or a |> or whatever fades within a few minutes of reading code for me, what I'm looking at for beauty relates more to the AST structure. Lack of repetition, ease of understanding the data flow, ability to adapt the data flow, etc. that's what makes code beautiful to me.
