bread with an open crumb is equally enjoyable to me. have you never had an open crumb ciabatta before? sandwiches/toast are not the only ways to eat bread, it can be also be used to soak up oil/butter, soup, etc.
that loaf doesn't look underproofed at all, there is no tearing in the crust aside from the score and underproofed bread tends to be dense, not open. if anything, you could make the case that the loaf is overproofed, as sometimes large holes occur when the structure collapses due to the gluten relaxing too much (see pic related). but that also doesn't seem to be going on here based on the amount of oven spring and the fact that the loaf isn't flat and appears to have held its shape
