"Hot take": Western music theory isn't limiting... you just lack creativity

I come across these kinds of posts of people complaining about "limitations" and laugh. If Western music theory and the 12 tone system is so limiting, why is it used by the overwhelming majority of timeless composers, artists, and songwriters? Surely if they could create masterpieces with it, why can't those complainers?

Sure, concepts such microtones are interesting in the context of certain styles, but they're not the answer and replacement for the 12 tone system.
