Drum Machines only go "PA PA PA PA" if you tell them to.

Most electronic instruments (let's call it that) also have for example velocity, volume and other options and ways to play them. It just depends on the artist to utilize these in a natural or creative way. Saying Machine Drums aren't able to generate variation in sound, volume and velocity is just wrong. It's the artist who's not able to do that in such a case.

Obviously you won't find this sort of skill in most electronic music because either the artists aren't skilled in that regard (not much experience outside their own genre), or it's just a genre you can't compare to rather classic music genres since they are just totally different, like Trap.

But there are people who can play various instruments with skill and therefore know how to properly utilize Drum Machines, software based guitar synthesizers and more in a DAW to make them sound like an actual instrument, or even better.

I bet you'd be surprised if you knew how many of the studio versions for rock and metal bands actually weren't completely recorded, but produced and sampled using DAWs, synths and software Drum Kits.
