The OP wasn't objecting to fiddler+stomp or blues+stomp. Perhaps few are bothered by that unless they don't like the music or the particular performer's artistic choices.

I have thoroughly enjoyed performances by John Hartford (at folk festivals) and Stompin' Tom Connors (on TV & radio), and a few lesser known folk festival performers whose names I don't recall. I LOVE percussion totally agree with feet being used to create it. To keep a beat and dance is to be human.

But to my ear that isn't the same issue as overly-loud, monotonous thumping that detracts from storytelling-type songs. (Or someone behind tapping my chair leg.) Musical stomp is consistent--yes, but annoying & monotonous--not as a rule; there is usually varying volume and texture same as any musician would with any instrument. Stompin' Tom's stomp was the least varied of any I've heard, but he never drowned out his lyrics & instruments.
