It's not like that sort of music was totally alien to a mainstream audience at the time.
Kraftwerk & Brian Eno were hugely successful by then, even Can were getting into the charts.
Bowie used that and made it even more accessible by incorporating that into his sound. I don't think it was any different to him using jazz on Aladdin Sane or soul on Young Americans.
