I'm not knocking synth music but it's fairly easy to sit at your computer creating loops and fills etc (esp with single finer chords) then assign to different instruments and voices. I know cos I've done it on my PC, and while I love my music I'm no composer.
I saw the Pet Shop Boys on something recently and the odd bloke on keyboards just hit the keyboard every so often to change the chord (quite possibly just for show) but most of the song was already programmed and playing back.
There's nothing like a decent band of 4 or 4 musicians belting out a bit of rock and roll or similar.
