That's just a trite cliché that doesn't make sense in this context.
Lowest how exactly?
The production, arrangement, voicing, mixing, mastering and hooks are objectively of better quality than most 'indie' music.

High quality != good
Most pop music sounds so sterile and lacks humanity

"Most pop music sounds so sterile and lacks humanity"
Subjective and (wrong*) vague judgement + if it lacks humanity why do humans love it so much?
*R Plus Seven sounds way sterile, as does Ferraro/Fatima Al Q/the whole Fade To Mind thing.

Pop doesn't just mean Katy Perry.
Whitney Houston, Kate Bush, Tears for Fears, Motown...all pop music.
most people have bad taste

But Anon, hating on Pop makes me feel superior.

Surely the purpose of music is to emotionally connect with people. If a song connects with lots of people that means it's doing what it's supposed to do.
Or is music a sport? What are the rules if so? The most harmonic complexity? The virtuosity of the players?
What makes it good?
