If you mean the lack of theoretical guarantees due to a highly non-convex optimization, you could argue the same thing about 30 year old 2-layer networks. And we actually do have a decent idea why deep learning works well:

Thankyou that looks awesome.

Btw, "why" questions are always a bit ill-defined, it's like asking for some kind of narrative to satisfy the questioner. "well in the beginning there was the big-bang..." So anyway I'm quite impressed at these papers.
