maybe also because in the past you had to be a real musician to actually play something (no hardware to help you). So many were trained in making music (instead of self made) ? Not that being trained equals quality, but somehow, maybe it helps... (IANAMusician :) )

Pop music of the past had plenty of people lip-syncing their concerts, house bands that played all the instruments, and so forth.
It is not obvious that you had to be a trained musician to succeed. Many who succeeded were, but many who succeeded are not.
