I don't know if that is unpopular, as I agree entirely.
Even more so, I think that musicians themselves don't appreciate the beauty of sparse texture as much as they should. Guitarists in particular. If you only need one note, why use more?

There should be some kind of licence (free of course) you have to obtain before you are allowed to play live in a band. In this license you should be tested on your ability to follow and reproduce pitches and rhythms on your chosen instrument. Nobody who fails this test should ever, ever be allowed to play in a band in front of other people who have to listen to it.
