Mozart is Wiener Klassik(Vienna Classic?), while Tchaikovsky takes his elements from Russian Romantic Classic... :/ This is like comparing a banana to an avocado

My point wasn't to say that their music sounded similar, but rather that the playfulness and percieved lack of depth that you see in Mozart, I see just as prevalent, if not more so, in for example Tchaikovsky. That's why I thought it seemed contradictory to not (at least seemingly) hold him up to the same standards as you do with Mozart.
Don't get me wrong though, I have nothing against Tchaikovsky, but "profound" or "deep" are not among the first words I would use to describe his music.
