Fair enough, I can't argue with preferences; just pointing out that this particular one is contrary to performance practice and ideologically favors the composer to the performer in an interesting way.
Though, I should say, the point of the cadenza isn't to be "more technically brilliant and thematically explorative" (as though it were somehow a competition between composer and performer) than the preceding material. It's more about the drama of live performance--where the virtuoso can dazzle an audience with something they've never heard--than the aesthetics of music composition.
There's a nice (and short) Robert Levin video on youtube about improvising in Mozart concertos; maybe check it out. Among Levin's more interesting points is that many professional performers, who hold similar views to you (not saying they're bad, by the way--just different), have flipped the amateur/professional dichotomy on its head. In other words, today's professionals would have been the 19th century's amateurs.
