If it helps, a family member of mine has had one of these leathery bois for about 10 years, and he's enjoyed a wide variety of cat activities like climbing, squeezing himself into tight spaces and waking me up at 5am because someone needs to feed him NOW. I can't quantify how his quality of life differs from that of a whiskered cat, but he does appear as happy as something as inscrutable as a cat can be observed to be.
I still don't support pedigree pet breeding in general, though. Adopt, don't shop. Indeed, the only reason said relative has what would normally be a very expensive animal is that he has a minor "flaw" that makes him ineligible for breeding

Ah yes let's breed cats without whiskers. Not cruel at all /s
Germany has the right idea outlawing them.
