The electronic music point is good, but I wouldn't label electronic music as inferior or not art.
It's about choosing which parts of your stack are artisanal vs which parts are implemented for you. These choices impact the form factor, but I wouldn't say that they diminish the work itself.

Early electronic music (e.g. musique concrete) was nuts, because they were literally building sound. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=919RleFXcNM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=919RleFXcNM Once the presets were packaged and productized... you ended up with 808 music. Which wasn't worse, but was objectively less unique.
