I think this is true in a way, but the genius of Mozart is his ability to create a huge variety of very subtle and beautiful and often quite complicated effects from what superficially appears to be a limited and simple system.It's very easy to compose or even improvise something that most people would recognize is in the "style" of Mozart, if you have some training and experience in playing Mozart's music. To compose on the level of Mozart hiself -- that is not so easy.
So it isn't surprising that many listeners, especially inexperienced or untrained ones (I'm not saying that applies to you) find Mozart "boring", at least at first.
