I guess what it really boils down to is your attitude and definition of music. I kinda don't like it when people think music is just one thing. Like the more complex the musician the better they are. But there's also complexity in layering music, and having a bunch of cool stuff happening at once. Whether these people have had extensive musical education or not isn't important, as long as what they're playing makes sense to THEM.
Yeah, but to dismiss complex and/or virtuosic music seems equally unfair.
There's nothing wrong with overly complex orchestrations or shredding, as long as the music itself is interesting. I love some raw noise, but something mindblowingly complex can likewise be viscerally overwhelming in a good way.
