It was found that plants roots are in symbiosis with bacterias and fungus to get minerals from the ground.
I think that like us with our microbiome, the plants have evolve with their microbiome in the soil. To grow them from a chemical mixture is to oversimplify nature.
Alternatively, you could use a coarse sand bed as media and ’compost’ natural fertiliser and get beneficial bacteria and fungus going.

And it's been throughly and exhaustively 'found'/demonstrated/proven that plants grow very well in hydroponic systems. And depending on the exact plant & nutrients used, can be just as nutritious, or more, or less nutritious compared to soil grown plants (also depending on how the soil plant is grown). Natural != the best way to do it. (note: I'm not saying bacteria/fungi can't be beneficial)
