I think that Yamaha's drum sound reflect their market position on the PSR and Tyros lines... That is, keyboards specifically marketed AT and voiced FOR the 'home' user.
As such, the 'live' dynamics and punch that is so important to performing publicly, where you are TRYING to get as close to a real 'live' band as possible, actually works against you when you are at home, and want a more polished, CD-like sound (after all, that is what you are comparing yourself to, at home).
Add to that that probably most home arranger users have never played in a live band (the vast majority of arranger sales go to hobbyists and amateurs) and wouldn't recognize a good 'live' sound even if they had one, and you start to see Yamaha's position on these sounds.
They certainly don't BUILD their arrangers for professional use (despite them being used by many as such), nor include so-called 'pro' options like larger keyboards, so it is unlikely that they would voice them that way...
JMO, yada yada yada...
Diki, I know you're gonna take this hard.
You'd better sit down and take a deep breath.
Ready?
I agree with you 100%.
