Granted I've only just recently listened to her actual albums, but is song writing really the point with Ke$ha?

These are two seperate things:
1. The progression of her songwriting abilities.
2. Your level of interest in her progression (in this regard).
In short, I don't give a **** how little you care about her songwriting abilities.
But if you meant that as a non-subjective, universal comment (your original post) then, yes, her songwriting ability has progressed and it does matter. I assume its a collaborative effort, but she herself is at least opting for music with more song-craft than was on Animal or Cannibal.
To that end, I think she brings her style to more sophisticated music, and thats what I really enjoy. She seems to have a similar mentality to AC/DC in that "sure, you can be fancy, but that isn't very fun."
Ke$ha has a place in my music collection because she gets it. Theres a whole lot of people posting for the covers of magazines and making ambient, boring, bull**** music. Meanwhile, she rolls around in glitter before a show, writes some killer hooks, and has a dancing penis on stage. She's not looking to get inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame, but she might because she isn't looking to blow your mind aurally. She's just looking to write tunes that might actually get you laid.
On her behalf, you're welcome.
