For example, I'm sure the average joe doesn't know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.

From what I've seen, modulars tend to attract people that love to tinker but aren't necessarily very musical. They spend 30k and years on their setup but when they actually play something it's just space soup. There are exceptions of course, some respected producers do use them, but that's just my casual observation.

Absolutely. I love audio design, synthesis and making music, but I have rarely released anything. It took a long time for me to realize and accept that I do this for my own entertainment and not to be a successful musician. Its just a hobby.

And there's nothing wrong with that! Music has also always remained something I did for fun, I have a different creative field as my day job and I don't want to do the same with music nu-hu.
