I agree with you, most virtuosic players don't write stuff that anybody but instrumental junkies would like. After a few minutes of impressive displays, you become desensitized to it and often they don't know how to tone it down and build performances with different dynamics to highlight the impressive segments more so.
It's like with a lot of big budget films, the special effects are not special if they are constantly being used.
