It's not that people don't enjoy pixel sharp images, it's that when images are cut from backgrounds, it's almost impossible to get the exact curves and angles cut out. It takes a real professional to make clean cut renders. It's the main reason why I usually search for pre-cut renders, because cutting them out is such a pain.

The reason people prefer the "blurry" edges is because it's more visually fluid. When an object with very sharply defined edges is placed over another image that takes up the entire background, or even over just another render, the two compete from focal attention. The reason you blur the edges of an image is to give it the appearance that it is not just an image placed over another image, but rather part of the entire picture. You blend it in so it becomes a seamless transition. Do you understand?

You also blend the backgrounds of images to add depth to your pictures. If you have 2 sharp images next to each other, say, a man standing in front of a house, it gives the appearance that the man and the house are at the same focal distance from the viewer, and that the man is basically one with the house. However, should you blur the house a little bit...get rid of some of that focus, it gives the appearance of distance. A blurred house with a finely focused man in front makes us think the man is close to us, but the house is in the distance. It draws our attention to the man, but lets us notice that there is in fact a house BEHIND him.
