Maybe people who like adventurous music like the fact that Wilco can be adventurous but can also be comfy and cozy and sweatpany. So could REM. So could Sonic Youth, actually.
So... weird thing to trigger your rage at mundane/basic music, since it’s really not that.
Don’t you enjoy well-done folk music? Mermaid Avenue is simple as can be, but very good.
Not all music needs to warp your mindhlole. Some of it can just be fun.

I'm actually a huge folk music fan. I have always had folk groups alongside my rock groups because it's an area that is important to me to explore both as a listener and a player. To me Wilco isn't exactly folk music by a long stretch but I think I hear you're getting at. it's more just a surprise thing for me how many people I know with adventurous taste that seem to rate this band that to me has shot straight down the middle of the road their entire career, even when they are supposedly branching out sometimes. Just one person's take. That's all.
