Simply amazing that the likes of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Berlioz,
Chopin, Rosini, Paganini, Liszt, Brahms and numerous others (including
myself) spanning 2 centuries used the same counterpoint "tool"[1] to
learn and yet somehow managed to develop their own individual style. Of
course, we look back on history and study the influence such a treatise
had on their style but I don't think you will find anyone claiming each
wasn't individual.
A tool is a tool. It doesn't create, hamper or destroy artistry.

Resume: If you want to play hobby music in the style of other artists some
software tools make it easy to do so, but you never will find your individual style. If
you want to make art, you have to find your own sound, this is time consuming and comes
with a long learning curve, you can't do it as easy as playing hobby music.
