Fake grain really disgusts me.

This is not fake grain - it's a reproduction of the original grain pattern, compressed separately from the underlying image content. The result is closer to the original picture than the denoised / compressed version.

Depends on your definition of fake. I consider this to have crossed the line from lossy compression to a generative product.
