Evolved: vocal music has instruments and voice, and it appeared later in both History of Music and History of Videogaming ; instrumental-only music, as the name itselft tells, has only instruments.

Complex: yes, it has everything instrumental-only music has and more.

Superior: no, that's already about tastes.

Harder to make: theoretically yes, meaning that the same music with the same instruments and the same conditions is harder to make when you add voice on top of that.

What it would prove: it doesn't prove anything besides the facts themselves (that most of Nintendo games shifted to vocal music later than their competitors), it only suggests that Nintendo wasn't willing to make the same effort and that it was forced by others rather than forcing them to evolve.

That would make MIDI more evolved in the aspect of history. Also, you can find plenty of music that is more complex  using only instruments than vocal and instrument. Unless you think rap and pop is more complex that classic works. Complexity is fairly subjective in itself

Maybe. On the one hand, it's more sophisticated but, on the other hand, it doesn't demand as many resources. It's like comparing books with ebooks. eBooks are more sophisticated and versatile, but anyone can publish one. They don't demand as many resources. Would you say they are more evolved?

Regarding complexity, that's why I said "theoretically". Complexity in music is only subjective as long as it's hard to assess. And this applies to any matter (not just complexity) on any subject (not just music). Anything that is hard to analyse is considered subjective. Once it becomes easy to demonstrate, it is considered objective. Philosophy vs Science is a good example: the knowledge migrates from the former to the latter as it becomes possible to demonstrate. Demonstration doesn't change anything but our perceptions. Reality continues to be what it always was.
