If you’re talking about solo producers churning out electronic beats in their studios, sure. If that’s what you listen to on Spotify, fine.
First of all, music production is only a small part of music. There are tons of people out there who play musical instruments, and a much smaller number of people who do music production.
Almost nobody who plays an instrument will use piano roll notation, because piano roll notation just fucking sucks. It’s the shittiest way to read music. Nearly everyone who reads music in some way reads a score, reads tablature, or at the very least, reads the chords.
Second, when you look at music production, there are big chunks of it done with scores. You know why Cubase and Logic are so popular? Partly because they have decent notation systems in them. They’re not competitive with Sibelius/MuseScore/etc., but they work. That’s because people writing scores want to know, “What chord was that? Should I change the chord? Should I revoice it?”
