I think that's a bad philosophy.

I agree.

Needing to have the latest whiz bang device is nothing new... it's why
everyone flocked to the latest 24-track studio and abandoned the 16-track
studio down the street, causing all the 16-track guys to have to "upgrade"
to 24-track 2" headstacks, even though the thinner tracks sounded poorer.

Sure, the customer only needs four or five tracks for their job, but they
know 24 tracks is better because all the big studios have 24 track machines.

None of that has changed a bit.

The throw away nature is interesting, and it's a matter of the consumer
electronics world having pretty severely taken over the pro audio world,
because, well, that stuff is just so cheap.
