They have very different styles sure, and preference is fine but don't call Mozart boring. He is every bit the genius that Bach is in a different way. Just because Mozart seems effortless doesn't make it boring. I wish music came to me that easily when I wrote.

Mozart's operas in particular are nothing close to boring.
I would say, in my experience, that Mozart is such lovely music that even the amateur can enjoy him, and I agree, that it isn't fair to generalize one as being genius, and one being boring. Mozart is a treat to listen to, regardless of who else I like.
