It feels more universally human. Like, it takes so much more skill to portray an atmosphere/vibe without one word at all. And its doesn’t care which country you’re from, you can share it with anyone in the world, regardless of language.

    Sometimes I do prefer instrumental music for the exact reasons you described. It lets me focus on the music itself instead of music and lyrics simultaneously. If it’s minimalistic enough, I’ll have it playing as I read too. Other times I want something fun to sing along to, or to hear lyrics that resonate with me in certain moods. Almost every form of music has its appeal.
