Well, it's only my view, sure it's a simplification. I think successful producers tend to not finish records made by too complex-to-work-with performers, as a result these don't tend to reach the top. The artists might be complex, but it's up to the business owners of that artist to make sure something simply great comes out of him/her. In that process a lot of the complexity is actually never used.
