That's precisely it. Imagine we lived in a world where Female Genital Mutilation had been acceptable for a long time. Instead of getting comments on how it's different and unjustifiable, we'd be getting comments that 'everyone does it' and 'it just looks better' and 'I'd rather have it done as a baby rather than as an adult!'
If it's really so acceptable, then why not wait until they're an adult to make the decision for themselves? Surely what they think looks better is more important than what their parents think. "Well it's painful..." And you're doing this to a baby? Because they won't remember (though who knows what it does to the brain...)
It's basically just forcing something on someone. That it's common does not make it okay. I thought we all learned this. "If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?"
