You know, sometimes language pushes our mind to think in a certain way about an issue. I once read about a municipality here in the Netherlands un-ironically introducing the word 'horsification'. The idea was to use that term to highlight the 'problem' they had with the large amount of farmlands being converted to grazing fields for horses, making the landscape uglier in the process. See, this graph of the amount of horses is going up! So you, rural farmer, should not add to the dreadful horsification of our precious landscape. It highlights the fact that once you have a word for it, you can beat people over the head with it. Culture is multi-faceted, and appropriating culture is just one thing you can do with it. You can observe it. Judge it. Love it. Institutionalize it. And each of those verbs can be done in a respectful, appropriate (heh) manner, or you can be a dick and entrench decades-old power structures. But that doesn't make the act itself necessarily a terrible, indefensible thing.
