This is a valid point.
Especially with amplified music.
Certain unamplified music when done correctly can have a soundstage of sorts.
The thing is that instruments (especially acoustic instruments) radiate music radically differently then speakers project the music at playback.
The thing is that many recording engineers engineer for a soundstage. They figure that we hear in stereo, we have stero playback, why not use the stereo option?
The one thing that a well defined soundstage gives us is the ability to easilly listen to individual instruments. This might be a surreal effect, but can be very seductive.
Many audiophiles may claim they are looking for live sounding music from their system, but ultimately that is IMPOSSIBLE. Physics does not let us record instruments naturally or radiate music naturally or do anything inbetween naturally.
We can try to get as close as we can.
