Some sounds are pleasant, some unpleasant.
Hypothesize that acoustic instruments have become optimized over hundreds of years to produce the most pleasant sounds possible in a locally maximized way. That is, an electronic synthesizer which can produce slight variations of a sound of an acoustic instrument can do no better.
Alternatively, hypothesize that the sound of acoustic instruments were constrained heavily by physical limitations, so a huge universe of more pleasant sounds awaits to be electronically generated.
Electronic can almost certainly produce sounds more unpleasant than acoustic. Arrange Holst's "Mars" to better depict the horrors of modern warfare.
