Speeding up and slowing down is part of what can make music interesting,

Absolutely.

I'm just saying that almost four decades of sequencers have changed
how we hear music. "Perfect" performances were never possible before -
no clams, perfect timing, intonation, dynamics...



And click-tracks. I loath rigid time, unless extreme and unintentional.

I like to intermingle rigid and not-rigid on my own stuff. It does
trainwreck at times.

I have parts in mixes where if you heard them soloed, you'd think I
can't play at all but mixed in, they just work.

Music is so strange.
