Your right.
But he's not pleasing you.
I dont think there is any actualy "Good" Retouching.
Since all retouching is fake.
Everything can be taken differently.
This berry might not taste sweet to you.
But a bird loves it. Etc.
Its all about what is asked for and what is wanted.
Someone might take a high end picture and say, make it look like a polaroid.
Or make me look unnatractive.
And someone else sees it and says, oh that is a horrible photo.
But its all about what they want. They are the ones paying for it.
