Ok... let me explain this as best as I can.
Take for example a drum set.
The only difference in between 'real' drums and 'fake' drums is the way that the sounds are triggered. It takes more physical effort perhaps to play a challenging beat, but in music, generally the mental effort is what makes things pleasing to the ear. When you record yourself playing on a drum set... do your really have ownership of the actual sound that comes out? Sure, you bought the drum set, but did you really contribute to the overall timbre of the drums? Many electronic musicians design their own instruments instead of playing an already existing one, which in my opinion gives more credit to the artist. However, no one will ever own sound--even in its most abstract form.
On the other hand, electronic music has a reputation of being cold, robotic, and impersonal. An acoustically recorded track has a warmth that is very hard to achieve through electronic means, and even more difficult now from the widespread use of digital gear instead of analog. There are people who use digital technology poorly and unintelligently, and I think that's a shame because it has so much more to offer than what is generally displayed.
