I find that kind of attittude pretty infantile. I don't think people use the "Amen" break due to a lack of creativity. They use it because they like the sound and feel of the break, because it's a versatile break with a variety of hits and patterns, because it's got certain associations, etc.. It's all about what you do with it. Just like any other sound (aiff/wav file) there are endless possibilities as to what you can do with it. There's a difference between what some Moving Shadow type usually does with the "Amen" and what a Plug, Squarepusher or Hrvatski can do with it.
