I totally agree. The whole reason I come to pop is for easily-accessible catchiness. Creativity is great, but if you give me a more creative song and put it up against a catchier song, I'm gonna go with the ear worm every time. I don't think there's anything wrong with listening to music that's not particularly original. For thousands of years people have been listening to musicians who played the same songs over and over again, most of which had been around for hundreds of years in one form or another. So listening to a song that may be derivative of another song from last year or last decade isn't really such a big deal.
