I believe it's the thing of something relatively recent coming out, and those who are purists, for lack of a better word, aren't quite sold on its legitimacy yet.

I'd imagine that people were appalled by the electric guitar in much the same way at some point...the theremin...etc.

My opinion on the matter is that if you're creating music, using an instrument (regardless of how complex it is or isn't) you are making music. You can be bad at making electronic music, but I think there's still the possibility of someone being a legitimate prodigy.

So, yes, I consider them musicians.
