Part of the problem is that most electric music comes as a simulated band of robots playing in a virtual space materialised as sound through a loudspeaker. Modern electronic music has more in common with a police siren than music in the cultural sense. 'Music' as a deeply rooted cultural term is quite conservative, probably the most conservative art form there is. Therefore it's primarily bound to 'oldskool' rites, techniques and tools. It's also heavily human-centric (one of the main reasons serial music is not a big hit) and thus demands direct engagement of man as composer, interpret and performer. Serial music shares profound similarities to conceptual machine music as it is composition with strict binary rules, but is still interpreted and performed with traditional instruments. As such it is already quite a borderline concept for the traditional Music world. Now if you want them to talk about softsynths that's of no interest to them at all because it happens on quite a different planet to them, to which i would agree.
