Most commercialized pop acts don't "compromise" or "water down" their music either. The music they put out is about as good as they're capable of writing and more importantly is the music they
want to write.
Compromising your music is only relevant to a band who are making say non-commercial music, and THEN subsequently watering down the sound in order to conform to their label. Note: this does NOT apply in the case of the majority of pop acts who have always been commercial in their intentions all along.
Furthermore: there's nothing wrong with trying to write catchy commercially viable music. It's a style. It's a format. It could be good, it could be absolutely appalling. But inherently, it's no less worthy as music than the rubbish that your darlings Oomph put out.
