What you describe sounds like a huge waste of everybody's time. Furthermore data migration on mobile devices mostly happens via iCloud these days - there's really no need to do that in store. It's part of the onboarding proce

Running a complex, resource-hungry DAW that needs direct and fast access access to audio hardware and features a demanding plug-in ecosystem on an emulation layer isn't a good idea.

I can relate. These days I think any feature request should be followed by a discussion about what the client/user is actually trying to achieve. It's my experience that most users, unsurprisingly, have no idea about the possibili

On the other hand I doubt more of them are making a living off it. To clarify I’m aware that music and arts in general have always been professions that can only be sustainable for the very few, most dedicated talents - yet I imagine it has

Of course. The problem with Samsung is that they don't seem to care about proper execution, they care about being able to print fantastic features on the abck of the box, regardless of how well they actually work.

While Bandcamp is indeed the best music purchasing option in my opinion, I'd like to add that music is available without DRM pretty much anywhere these days, regardless of which store you use. It's not something limited to Bandcam

Then you don't seem to be looking very thoroughly. Films and series are just another form of art and similar to any other category the highlights are naturally harder to find. But dismissing them outright seems very narrow-minded.
