I think they’re uglier than cell towers. They look like what they are- fake trees trying to blend in with real trees and doing it badly. That’s worse than simply putting up a metal and concrete tower to me.
The point is to not stick out on a cursory glance. As you drive by you see a bunch of green, you might notice there was something up with that particular tree, but that’s it. A plain cell tower would stick out from a distance, interrupting the natural view.
It’s like those mirror covered buildings that reflect their surroundings, giving the impression of unbroken landscape as you drive by. They’re not invisible, you know there’s a huge building there, but it’s a hell of a lot less disruptive than a regular one.

Those buildings kill birds tho, thye don’t see the building and hit the mirrors at full speed
Just like wigs or esthetic surgery. We generally have the impression that wigs looks terrible, just because we only notice the bad one. The good one goes unnoticed.
Wait you don’t like em? I like em better than just cell towers

Fun fact: in Los Angeles they hide some of the giant oil pumps inside fake houses.

Or, consider that the ugly ones may be the only ones you’ve actually noticed. The rest would then be working as intended.

Well that’s a take
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As is ugliness.
Big if true
“Uncanny fakes are worse than reality” is a hot take now?
Who said anything about hot?
