In general do you think Homebrew Role-playing Games tend to take away from the enjoyment of the core system of play or enhance it?

There is irony in that question because to a large extent homebrew systems are there to help make the game enjoyable for the players involved. At the end of the day no one follows 100% of the rules and make up for this by having variants and addins to the core of system play.

Homebrews are some of the best for those who play them. 
While a hombrew Role-playing Game can have some interesting twists its kind of irritating to be familiar with a rule only to have it thrown out with an invention that does not make sense.

I agree with Role-playing Game Expert on this.
I remember a meme and I will quote the original lines from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
QUOTE Elizabeth: You have to take me to shore! According to the Code of the Order of the Brethren“
Barbossa: First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement, so I must do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the Pirate's Code to apply, and you're not. And thirdly, the code is more what you call "Guidelines" than actual rules. [smiles] Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner!

Another thing to consider is the level of investment. A GM with a homebrew world set in any established system, is already invested in his game. Meaning the time and commitment are already allocated, he/she just needs to sell the game to the players for them to become invested in it.
A homebrew system is a real hard thing to sell. Mostly because it remains untested, so instead of actually playing the players actually playtesting. Mechanics, Functionality, and a host of other things could and would need to be evaluated in a playtest.
