I myself am not a big fan of the early viennese classic style for much the same reason. To be fair though, one should take into account that the baroque period ranges from the early 1600s through 1750, while the viennese classical period strictly speaking goes from 1780 to the 1820s, and if we're even counting the 1820 to early romantic, it is even shorter.
For classical in the wider sense, we need to count the Bachs, at least CPE, who did good and is merely still under-represented in concerts imho.
