Well, sure, but they still have a music background and affinity for music. And it's not like these are some composers they pulled from the middle of nowhere, USA, these are ones that are considered worthy to work on tv shows and such, which means they have to be at least somewhat good at what they do. A&E has a background at writing for network TV and look how bad they are..., anyway, there's a reason why people don't like musical episodes, they are bad (with the exception of Buffy), so if better written shows with better showrunners couldn't do it, why would OUAT can? Especially that A&E said that they didn't know how to do it and especially when this idea is because of what the fans want. Musical eps didn't work in "better written shows" probably because they weren't fit for these shows, for example Grey's Anatomy (even though I loved that ep lol).

While OUAT, even though has worse writing, is surely more fit for a musical, given all the Disney influence.
