Interesting point, classical music eventually evolved to non systematic composition and like Mozart and Beethoven (to name the obvious) the music became progressive in the fact that it didn't rely on recurring themes or a compositional organizational structure. Earlier Crimson and middle Tull also have this non-structure as well. The need to have a 'song' on an album was too great it seems, and as with any species the need to survive took precedent.
