This is probably true, but mostly because Go-playing is a niche activity that lacks emotional valence to the public. It still would've been exciting to people who play Go.
I haven’t gone looking for critiques of AlphaGo. The one I RT’d earlier today is a good start. There may be others, I don’t know. If I start enumerating the problems with the work myself, I’d end up writing a blog post… which I want to avoid!

Oh, this critique, referenced in the one I RT’d earlier today, is good: https://medium.com/@karpathy/alphago-in-context-c47718cb95a5 …

Note that Karpathy is a true believer when it comes to DL, and even so he doesn’t think AlphaGo is interesting.
