I don’t think so. It’s a form of constrained writing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrained_writing).
In such writing, the challenge is to construct beautiful texts despite of artificial constraints.
They wouldn’t understand the constraints, so they wouldn’t be able to understand why nicer texts wouldn’t satisfy them.
That said, I'm a programmer who took digital media art installation courses in school and I didn't find it to be that different from programming, just with different results/goals. https://cycling74.com/products/max isn't a toy programming environment any more than https://www.ableton.com/en/ is a toy environment or https://origami.design/ is a toy environment. They just have different goals, and perhaps different standards of quality?
