It has a lot to do with replay value. Live recordings have a wow factor to them that hit harder when they’re rarer (this Tiny Desk). For a studio album that may/may not be played on the radio, used in media, etc, it generates way more replay value when it has a refined, consistent sound.

Oh no no no he didn't invent dubstep - dubstep was originally a very different genre of british and caribbean origin, derived mostly from dub and 2-step garage (hence dub+step), but also grime, drum and bass, reggae and jungle. He just popularised the more agressive EDM-oriented style (sometimes called brostep to distinguish it from the original style) that the US knows as dubstep. If you want an example of a really good oldschool dubstep artist, I recommend Burial - his album Untrue is incredible
