The interesting part is that you can put in some additional variables to
change the sound in ways that could never be achieved in the real world.
That you can do so without setting up mikes and so on but instead alter
the sound in realtime. Which makes it even more useful even if you don't
want to go live.

But you are right in that way that natural sounds are much more complex
than most of what (pleasing to the ear) we can do in the digital domain.
Which is why they usually sound more interesting and not so boring to
us. Here some samples, there some live input, can change the world.
