Well it makes sense no? "Composer" is usually reserved for people who write
down notes on papers, "musician" is used to address people as
instrument-players.
An electronic music artist might also be a composer and/or musician, hence
the need for a separate word, and production is something that sets the
process of creating electronic music apart from classical composition and
general musicianship. So when you want to talk about someone as a person
who creates electronic music, you call him a producer.
I for one welcome this term.
