Okay now you're not discussing basic songwriting of EDM vs. Whatever instrument.
I never once claimed that the production side of recording live instruments is easy. I claimed that most musicians aren't nearly as involved in that process which you know is true. My point was that to make EDM you don't have a choice but to have extensive knowledge on the matter.
If you want to talk about great musicians that fully immerse themselves in the production process then we can talk the hundreds of EDM artists that work with live instruments too.
Also I don't think there is a single successful EDM artist that uses pre-made "beats". Even bedroom producers like me spend hours obsessing over how our kick drum sounds in a track. No self-respecting producer would sample and use an unaltered beat and the extreme vast majority don't sample at all in their tracks outside of effects and percussion instruments (which again, are usually heavily altered).
Remember, you are the one who threw a whole genre under the bus. I have nothing against playing instruments and I fully respect anyone who tries to make their own music, regardless of medium or genre.
