Uh, I feel like you are missing a ton of context.

Relentless heckling is a thing, so it’s understandable that this is a touchy subject.
Appearance is also more tied to a person's perception in society. It’s like telling someone "Hey, you look wealthy today! Good job making money!" Not like commenting on a casual hobby.
Even taking the violin or sports example, wording it like “good on you for putting in the effort” would still sound very condescending.
