I can imagine that Hammond too didn't think feathered raptors were cool and had Dr. Wu remove them because he thought they looked better without. I imagine the JPIII ones were his attempt to make feathered raptors look cooler. After all, InGen really didn't put accuracy in the spotlight. Spitting cobra Dilophosaurus.

But I find the fear of realism to be sad. Feathered raptors could be awesome if people tried to make them awesome, but nobody's tried anything more than wimpy quills yet.
