Have you tried programming a DX7? It's difficult enough already with just 6 FM operators. Expand to "virtually any synthesis technique" and most musicians will decide they don't need that much flexibility. But there are some exceptions, e.g. Autechre are well known for using the similarly flexible MaxMSP. As Sean Booth said in an interview with Resident Advisor[0] when asked about new equipment: "I just use MaxMSP now, because in Max I can generally build the thing I need, and if I don't know how to do that it'll generally be worthwhile learning. Intellectual capital or whatever. So rather than spend me money on equipment, I spend me money—as time—in learning how to build stuff."
