Exactly. People who think the blues is only about the chord progression are listening for the wrong thing.
Arguably, the opposite of blues might be prog rock, which to me is boring in its constantly changing - for no musical reason - time signatures and key centers, random melodic fragments and pseudo-intellectual "we play a lot of notes and sing operatically, look at how brainy we are" ethos. But I don't mind if others like it, I understand that.
And no, I also am not a "all blues all the time" person, but it's not because I find it boring.
