We must not fall for the "beauty" of AZ vs SF published games. Probably you folks have not witnessed many engine-engine games, there are many spectacular such games. Just an example: SF against Jonny (TCEC competition), it is on Youtube. SF played almost all game with one Rook down and went to win.
Also, they say SF had no opening book in the games. But without opening book, SF does not play the opening moves we were presented with. For example, it does not enter in QID by itself, but plays d5 early, or at least d6. Also, even after b6, it plays Ba6 and not Bb7.
This is true. Almost all (top) engine-engine games that don't end up in draw are beautiful in some way. AlphaZero is a major technological advance, but in terms of beautiness is overrated.
