Even though I know very little written Chinese I have a hobby interest in CJK language typography because I print cards like this

so I think I know something of their aesthetic sense, I think they just don't like the Roman alphabet much.
On the other hand one of my favorite serif Roman alphabets comes from Adobe's Arabic font. As different as Arabic is, I think Arabic typographers like the Roman alphabet more and do a better job of it.
I'm not so sure about the typographical culture of India but I wouldn't be surprised if they felt the same way as the Chinese.
