>Why in the world is it a problem? It's more fun this way, it gives you tools (girls) to play with yourself. It's why DiPP stories and Portrait of Exotic Girls pictures are so great.
NTA, but calling Exotic Girls as dolls lends to a metaphor here. When you see a doll there are two things you can do with her: play with her, or look at her and admire. Children will probably go for the former no matter what, they are imaginative bunch that see and use toys as toys, weaving with them stories with little care for realism, internal logic or possibility of doll breaking. As you get older however, the doll is much more likely to give you a pause. With age you start knowing, spotting and caring about things you haven't before. Some of those things are rather prosaic: the doll has some owner or manufacturer, doll's clothes were woven with such and such technique, there is some plaque next to it giving few concrete information and so on. Some will care only about those tangible facts and either leave the doll alone once she had been analyzed by them, or maybe even play with her, though the doll functioning as something to observe will be treated as something distinct by them from the doll functioning as a toy. But there are those who will observe the doll and see a complete, if mysterious being in her. Those will be hesitant to take the doll and play with her until they feel that they actually know the doll and won't dispel whatever charm she holds by careless or to early touch. For those people playing with the doll can occur only as an act of enacting of what the doll already is, to do otherwise is to transgress against doll's nature and character.
Some people stay in touch with their inner child quite well and for them Exotic Girls are a perfect toy: pretty, with little constrains to them that could limit having fun, clear in their form yet almost limitless in potential uses, like a stick or a doll. Upon seeing Exotic Girls imagination of such people runs wild. Other people are deeply rational, many of them finding Exotic Girls as a mere curiosity they don't care about, some finding pleasure in using them for whatever they want, although understanding that they are treating Exotic Girls as puppets or a starting point. The last group of people is too afraid to use those girls, too afraid to even dare to attribute to those girls anything those people aren't sure lest they are mistaken.
Dismissive people are of no concern, but among the three remaining groups I don't think any of them is particularly more correct in their approach to Exotic Girls. For the child-like people the more information there is, the worse toy Exotic Girls become. For rational admirers, facts are certainly interesting and might prove useful, but they can live without them. For entranced people facts are of utmost importance, they know and accept that they are dealing with mystery (for those girls are nameless, after all), but they wish to grasp the mystery of Exotic Girls as closely as they can, to understand those girls with whatever little knowledge could be gleamed about them. Second and third group like facts (although they ascribe different weight to them) and together they probably outnumber the first one, so in the end having answers becomes the default positive state, while lacking them is considered detrimental.
Now that I think of it, this probably could be said about Gensokyo and Touhou at large, too. Most people don't care, including even those knowing Touhou (infamous tertiaries). Some wants whimsical place to feed their imagination, some want to know more about the setting in the same way like with any other piece of fantasy, some want to know as much as possible, trying to grasp the truth.
