"Intention"

The question becomes: what has impeded the creation of a MIDI file that can be confused with an actual concert from Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli.

Literally nothing is preventing this other than that nobody has bothered to take the time to do it.

The current version of MIDI is capable of replicating any of his performances, even down to the randomness.

Note that if you want to replicate the audio quality of his performances, you will need a high-quality MIDI instrument; the ones that ship with Windows will not suffice. These MIDI instruments can range from a few dollars to thousands of dollars. (See, e.g., Native Instruments)

In such case, we have a theoretical suggestion that «nothing is preventing this», but not an actual proof based on a "Turing test"-like scenario which would have specialists fooled, to corroborate that the new MIDI 2 would suffice.

I gave you the knowledge to do this research yourself, but since you are unwilling to do so, here is an example of the performance possible using MIDI instruments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvaChiq6gf0

As it is clear that you intend to keep shifting the goalposts to make a point that can't be made, I will withdraw from further participation in this thread.
