MODERATORS
Yes. People constantly describe certain chess matches between grandmasters as "beautiful" and various other aesthetic qualities. I don't see why this can't be extrapolated to board games in general.
To use the instrument analogy, different instruments can do different things. A bugle is more limited than a trumpet. Banging on a pot is more limited than playing on a full drum set. The art that can be created is comparatively limited, but it doesn't stop being art.
Good points, and quite reasonable!
