I'm just curious what people enjoy about this? It lacks melodic structure, consisting mostly of beats and some primitive "line", if you can call it that. I can take a drum machine and just doodle with it, creating similar results. I guess what do you find enjoyable in this "music"?

When you go out to dance, do you dance to the melodic structure, or to the rhythm?

To the rhythm, but without a banging, energetic melody there is no pleasure for me in dancing because I just find the track ing boring.
That's my personal taste.

I recently came across this very nice set by Richie G:

both. and neither. ;)
srsly, tho... I'm actually quite fascinated by the way mind reacts to music. there's a very good book on the subject matter - "This is your brain on music" - highly recommended read for those curious about how mind works with sound. Especially interesting parts were about "ear worm" - e.g. your typical Maroon 5, Gaga, Bieber, and "in and out of love" garbage and why they tend to rape your head for days after being heard.
coming back to original question, to me - a lot of this sounds quite primitive on a surface, even though I do realize that some of these tracks have quite a few elements and can have quite a complex structure.
I'm just curious how does one get excited about a track A when track B sounds just like it? Anyway, I think it may be hard to explain, as any other art form... but I was just really curious what excites you...

Because they don't. You are judging a whole type of music just on the basis of scimming through one mix. If someone jumped through a Trance mix for the first time (or any genre of music, for that matter) he'd probably say the same.
As for your actual question - I don't know, I find the tracks quite catchy. I like simply, catchy hooks.
