Why do we want to distortions?


So I read, Tube amplifiers sound better because of the euphonic distortions they add to the music.
I thought we were trying to avoid distortions.  What makes euphonic distortions sound better?

No doubt when cavemen first beat rhythms on sun bleached mammoth skulls there were rocks and trees lamenting that the sounds-Nature-intended were being distorted for somebody’s subjective euphonic purposes.
