I thought the benefit was quite clear - to not sound the same? To actually have some creative value even outside the game. Generic orchestral music No 48394934's creative value is long gone. Kirill's music is serious, btw, he has studied composition in the Moscow Conservatory and his soundtracks for Divinity make full use of that. It doesn't sound even remotely like Generic Orchestral Music. You should probably direct your anger at the people who have classified music this way, because I certainly didn't invent that and neither did I invent the history of music :p
You might have used instead "formal or art music" and avoided in running into misunderstandings *g*
