At least on a black truck they have something in common with the body.

True, but it just looks like an after thought. I saw it on another color truck (Ruby Red I think) and it looked hideous!

Tacky, as in "tacked on". Lund and AmpResearch both make sturdy foldable steps which make better sense. I intend to install them on the rear of the 2017. My father in law got a set of running boards which went wheel well to wheel well. They really overpowered the appearance of the truck.

And the reason I chose those running boards is the only way on the build and price to get the 6" angled boards without the extension is to buy the chrome package, and there's already too much chrome on the truck already without adding more.
Why oh why won't Ford offer a FX4/Sport Appearance (Monotone or grey accents) package like the F150 has on the Super Duty? They used to in '08-'09 then dropped it in '10 and haven't done anything since. Just miles of chrome for days.

Monotone is a little too far the other way for my taste. Some frontal chrome is good for the cleaning of bugs (pointed out by another member.) and it helps define the presence of the design of the vehicle.
