I was all about grill marks until just last month when I watched an Alton Brown and Guga video. Apparently grill marks are a sign that the meat wasn’t flipped enough for even cooking and browning.
There still is some phycology behind seeing the marks that probably influences the person’s experience.
Why people don’t like strawberry drinks that would be clear without the red dye or probably don’t enjoy them as much.
If you think something will taste good by appearance you can slightly trick yourself into the thing actually tasting better. Grill marks don’t make the steak better, but people expect them.
We are weird animals. Probably part of that primitive brain that categorizes items that could kill you if you eat them using sight or smell that is being hijacked.

But without burn marks how can you tell you if the meat was burned or not!? /S
Guga’s got me wanting a charcoal grill ASAP.
