For me a cocktail is all about balance. A cocktail can be tropical, or creamy, or fruity, but still be balanced out. However, when a cocktail is really sweet the sugar tends to overwhelm the rest of the drink meaning that is all you taste. A balanced cocktail will allow the flavours of all the ingredients to play out. Less sweet cocktails can be an acquired taste at first, but ultimately in my opinion they are far superior.

does it always have to be the classic “lets balance it (sweet&sour) out” cocktail?

It does annoy me when I walk in to a bar and the menu just contains a dozen "-tini's" full of fruit and sugar, but nothing in the way of classic cocktails. However, I came to cocktails through these kinds of drinks, so I find it interesting to revisit them now I have more knowledge about cockails. I can be the same sometimes.

Kudos for your open-mindedness. I'm a judgemental sort and roll my eyes whenever someone adds "-tini" to the end of a drink. You are a brave, brave man. Kudos for your open-mindedness.
