I like the pictures to the Left, the 2 that dont have a haze / smog feeling to them.

The contrast and gamma can be easily corrected. The details in the frame are more important to me...

I agree, a "beautiful" picture saturated with colors is not the main thing, detailing on such pictures is worse

unfortunately a lot people like what they see when what they see is an appealing image even though it actually has less detail, same reason retailers like to play animated films on display TV's, it looks great but tells you nothing about contrast, black levels etc

In this case, I give an example similar to this picture...


The benefit of lower contrast and compensated gamma is especially noticeable in low light conditions.
For example, when driving on country roads...

No doubt the examples on the right eat up a lot of detail.
I have been playing with bracketed photos in the last days, probably why i liked the overdrive footage above, cuz mixing 5 slightly different pictures into one you can make some extremely aggressive HDR and contrast pictures.

...mixing 5 slightly different pictures...

And I have a similar shot...)
