> The edge for vintage analogue synths was the fact that they offer more hand on control but with the wealth of midi controls that come with a wide array of presets support many software synths its still not much of a good reason to pick a hardware synth. There are at least two fundamentally flawed assumptions behind your post. 1. Electronic music isn't just about endless options and capabilities. Endless options give you endless search space to navigate. 2. The idea that generic computers are always better than dedicated hardware is rather archaic, because with modern technology you can integrate powerful computers into dedicated hardware very cheaply. There is a huge difference between using a fully integrated, though-out hardware synthesizer versus using a MIDI controller mapped to some plugin in a DAW. There is a reason thousands of musicians still buy analog gear, VA synths and fully digital FX pedals.
