Isn't this the main reason that we make music to begin with?
Isn't this kind of idea exactly what this song is supposed to make fun of? The whole "party all the time", bling-bling fantasy?
Who is "we", anyway? As a reason to make music, beats to dance to is the lowest common denominator you can find. I'd wager people who do that are a minority among musicians.
Of course, most musicians never make enough to turn music into anything else than a hobby (if they even try to sell their music at all), whereas pop songs rake in billions. So if you just look at the money or assume what goes on TV is an accurate representation of music as a whole, you could believe what you said, but come on now.
