People who violate the rules can get away with it, but only if they violate those rules for compelling reasons. Perspective allows people to see the world in three dimensions (with obvious limitations) , which allows for more detail in the expression of images.
Perspective also makes analytic geometry and the calculus possible.
Western civilization predates the Renaissance and its styles by two millennia, at least. It has gone through many phases, some more spiritually and religiously driven, and others more naturalist, humanist and objective. In our modern era, starting in circa 1890s, objectivism and naturalism were put on the back burner, and a new WORLD civilization has been being born, which shall be our heritage henceforth.
