This is a bit incorrectly titled, as the source denotes that the tracks are "Electroacoustic" music, not general "Electronic".

The collection is clearly aimed at presenting music where electronic triggers and some synthesis is used in concert with acoustic instruments or spaces, and is super biased towards "Musique concrète", and concert-hall, classical compositions for what I can hear, ala Luc Ferrari.

You're not going to see an appearance of Kraftwerk, Suzanne Ciani, Wendy Carlos, or Model 500.

This is less a "history", and more an "eclectic subgenre list by date".

Yes, very disappointing. I thought it'll be something similar to this YouTube video "Evolution of Electronic Music (1929 - 2019)", which btw I like very much but it's severely lacking due to being only =~ 20 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqukyEC3qWM

I don't know how accurate the YouTube list is but I never heard of anything prior to Jean Michelle Jarre's Oxygene (about 6 minutes in the list). If It were to compare the list with geological history, before 1976 it's weird Ediacaran biota. And afterwards, suddenly, it's like the Cambrian explosion :)
