And sharpening artifacts can, surely, also be the result of

You seem to think that sharpening artifacts are something that must
accompany digital images. You say it reminds you of why you shoot film.
Sharpening artifacts can be the result of any overuse of the tool with
digital or scanned film images. You can make it look as soft as you want.
