It's the same with graphical arts. People will talk more about the tools used, the message or the concept, than the raw shapes and composition which in most cases are the core of the work and what the artist spends the major part of his time working on. I believe that being able to talk about the core stuff means you understand it well and somewhat match the artist's skills on some level, so it's no wonder people will rather talk about more approachable stuff.
