is everyone just collectively pretending to like DJs but privately everyone feels too bad for them to tell them that actually the original songs were better

When I listen to a song on my commute, my experience of the music is somewhat abstract. I hear melodies and harmony, and I focus my attention on engaging with them. There is a pleasure in melody alone, as tension rises and falls. I can shut my eyes and enjoy.

When I go out to dance, a different mode of engagement takes over. The music is still heard but the experience is less abstract: I move my body in response to the music. It's much easier to move in response to a rhythm than to a melody, hence why a DJ might omit the melody.
