Oh, back to music itself for a moment....the chords and chord progressions are , in my opinion, meaningless. It's all about the melody, rhythm, arrangement, and lyric that "flows through" the progression.
By your statement, what can be more basic and G C D ? Yet some brilliant songs have been written using that most basic of progressions.
By your statement, what happens if I transpose to a different key and start introducing more difficult to play chords? What happens if I play C and Am in different voicings. Does it suddenly become better?
By your statement, most rock and roll is crap, basic blues is entirely crap, and down the crapper goes "three chords and a sad story"
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
