The essay kind of falls under the category of "I hate pop music because of a few artists that suck"
Now, surely you haven't listened to ALL of the pop music there is. What about Nat King Cole? If you're simply looking for complexity in pop music, Cole had some very complex harmonic structures and rhythms in his music. What about Jose Feliciano? Feliz Navidad and Malaguena aren't exactly the most simple pieces in the universe.
Seems to me that you seem to be generalizing quite a bit about pop music. I'd suggest you listen to a bit more before you decide to hate it all. You're falling into the old trap of being a rather hateful sounding musician, a good musician should be able to appreciate music for who the artist is.
Not all artists have the same level of understanding of music theory as others do. So what if a piece only has three chords? So what if the melody is simple and easy to remember? If the artist is writing something they love, then who the heck are you to criticize that?
