Yes, but then it isn't a show.

Nobody goes to a circus where the performers don't do something spectacular.

If it isn't exciting, then nobody goes.
I see your point, but I'm not rushing to agree...

Yesterday, while flying home from a weekend gathering, I stopped at a fly in. Zero aerobatics of dramatics. As I passed mid downwind, a B-25 Mitchell bomber crossed mid field, and went wide around me. As I crossed the fence, he called a low flypast, and went off my wingtip. I had parked in time to watch a fine landing, no excitement.

He, as well as a Cornell, and Tiger Moth were hopping rides, and everyone seemed very pleased. I did not witness any pitch or roll exceeding 30 degrees.

Airplanes were shown, and hundreds of people enjoyed....
