Charisma-based bards are shitty bards though. You need brains to write a good song; if you need to rely on charisma to sell it, means your song is shit.

Tbf to be a good musician you need god given talent, and talent like that is represented by CHA, not INT

If we're being real, within the 6 DnD stats, conventionally understood talent falls very clearly under Wisdom domain. Charisma has nothing to do with it - most great artists were asocial as fuck. DnD designers were just desperate to make Cha less of a dump stat.

Then why are sorcerers, whose magic is based on inherent aptitude CHA based casters?

For the very same reason, duh. Just look at stat descirptions in 2e, before all this Cha-based casters nonsense:
"The Charisma (Cha) score measures a character's persuasiveness, personal magnetism, and ability to lead. It is not a reflection of physical attractiveness, although attractiveness certainly plays a role."
See anything about talent or inherent aptitude?
