Again, we hit commercial reality. One of the aims of improving retention for new starters of modern jive is to emphasize the "modern" part of it. To prove to new punters* that MJ can be danced to any(-ish) pop track, and so get them to connect to the dance, relate it to their own club experiences, and hopefully come again, I imagine most DJs pretty much have to play more modern, standard pop tracks, at least early on.
And "difficult" is not exactly the same as "interesting", sure - but they're not too far apart in this sense I feel.
* who are paying more than the freestylers, and have as much "right" to the venue and the music they want as any "oldtimers" do.
