That may be one explanation, but more broadly with analog audio it is actually quite difficult NOT to end up with an AM receiver.

Hehe. That's a very good point.
Of course, if you want to build a proper AM receiver you will find that it is quite hard ;)
Same with oscillators and amplifiers. You always get the other one first.
Oh, and it is also very hard not to build a microphone. Except...
Yup, pretty much any nonlinearity will demodulate AM.
