ARTPOP happened because of Gaga's desperation to be ARTY against her actual capacity (at the time), in conflict with the money hungry, success-driven management.
The more that time passes, the better Born This Way is in retrospect. It was pretty aesthetically pleasant and had a lot of very good up-to-par music, everything aside. Even the less good cuts have a meaning that makes it something of substance.
The fact that since Bad Romance in 2009, Gaga has only gotten better.
The fact that despite all the TEARS from vapid gays to make more dispensable pop filler, she's gone from strength to strength serving quality regardless of fomos and twitter gays asking for "The Fame 2" "Just Dance 2" and other basic ****.
