Love your point here - the non verbal-ness of it feels like an increasingly rare thing in our lives (especially in tech).
Music and I suppose other traditional 'fine arts' (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc) are these windows into creation that's not as mediated by language, which is arguably the defining feature of humans.
I suppose dance / ballet / etc would be another similar space too, a kind of physical creation not mediated by language.
Towering above all other art forms, though, remains music - with such an immediacy to it (both in terms of how it hits your senses and how easily it seems to convey emotionality). It's no wonder that it looks like it's the top form of 'art' made and enjoyed by humans these days.
