You could alternatively say "when someone pushes them hard enough to show that [some of them] can scale to real problems" -- which makes it seem at least somewhat more reasonable, less contingent/sociological

Probably better to be driven by actual experimental observations from neuroscience

Seriously though, approximate backprop seems simpler than approximate PGM inference... and many probabilistic inference problems can be re-framed as neural nets as the field is doing now

And PGMs have been heavily explored, while backprop was ignored for a long time... so I think things are OK

But yes... basing as directly as possible in ground truth neuro observations would be very nice...
