Video games in the 90s were limited by CPU and system/cartridge size (really the size of ICs), where recording studios were not, so things could be big.
But really, video games were new, the artform was barely there, and music has been around for centuries.
Edit: in the early 90s, translator size was 0.5um, or 500nm. Today, 5nm is not uncommon.
Also of note: That’s in 2 dimensions, so you can fit 10000 transistors in that same space.
