Agreed. The typical studio multi-mic, panned mono recording is not that useful for critical evaluation. Minimalist mic classical or jazz tells us what we need to know.
Pop/rock is great music and can sound wonderful in many cases. Still not much of a benchmark for determining system performance.
Large scale classical is the most demanding type of music in terms of harmonics, acoustics, dynamics. If a system sounds/performs well with large scale classical it will sound great with anything else.
But if many audiophiles don't care for classical no need to beat a dead horse and force them to listen at shows.
