Being good on something doesn't mean you enough knowledgment on it to produce good stuff.
And really... why would u polish ur skills on something u have no talent to do, or dislike? It's not like those people would be technically equal good without going for formal education... Raw talent can make brilliant artists, but raw talent paired with technical knowlegment is just unstopable. All of the pop composers on the list are considered the very best at this, mostly because they know what they are doing.
Receiving formal education only means being programmed like a robot and doing stuff on one way only if u r completelly stupid to not use what u learned on ur own way. You must know the rules in order to break them.
