I love pop music and 80s pop music in particular so it really isn't a big deal to me, and if making pop music was that easy every prog band that "sold out" would have pulled it off, Genesis and Yes did, ELP however did not.
I know a lot of prog fans hate pop music, I used to have that attitude to an extent and it closed me off from a lot of music I eventually fell in love with. I don't really care how complex or simple a piece of music is as long as it grabs me and for that I'll take Daft Punk over Dream Theater any day of the week.
