Yes, I would consider the examples "some of the most technically proficient graphics", but you can find practically infinite examples of impressive procedural work done with visual-programming-language-based tools. I'd love to find more impressive examples using text-based programming languages though, those are harder to find. I agree that comparing a video to something that runs live obviously isn't fair, but that's not really the axis I'm concerned about here. Plain-text code seems to struggle at the artistic level vs. visual tools, not the performance level. E.g., the counterargument I'm looking for would be impressive visuals created purely in code that's either pre-render (e.g., as a video), or running live, I don't really care, I just want to see visually impressive work.
