The six-pointed stars we see in all JWST images are rather
disturbing, yet, it should be easy enough to filter them out.
Why don't they?

What's wrong with the diffraction spikes from the JWST?
Also, there should be 8, as I recall (although the horizontal ones are
pretty dim, compared to the vertical and "X" shaped ones).

I find them objectionable because they often obscure (oblude?)
nearby detail. These days, it should be relatively easy to
Fourier-transform the image, apply some window function to remove
the hexagon pattern of the mirrors and the shadows of the secondary
mirror supports, and then transform it back again.

Aren't the mirrors hexagons?

NASA is basically a money-burning PR operation, and probably elects to
show star patterns in pretty public pictures.
And if the bright lines saturate the detector, whatever is under them
can't be recovered.
