Genuine question: why do we need this type of thing?

Especially in view of the harm it can cause, what's the point of creating this aside from generating shareholder value?

Sure, creating a video out of text quickly is cool, but is there an actual need for this?

I get what you're saying, but there isn't really any NEED for that

Which then just feeds to the system. But as this is a globally impactful thing, is there any real world need that outweighs the harm?

I'm a sound engineer and I use different DAWs for different purposes. There's just no one DAW that does all, so this is a compromise I'm happy to go with.

When I do podcast editing, I use Audacity to split multi-track WAV files and for truncating silence. It's just waaaay easier to do this there than on Reaper. Plus it has a loopback recording feature built-in which I use for Zoom meeting recordings etc.

I use Pro Tools for audio post, but for most of what I do I'm a Reaper guy. It's very powerful as you said and it just works.

I know it can be a hassle switching DAWs (muscle memory on shortcuts can get weird), but for me, I like making the most of the strengths of a tool rather than forcing something to do everything.

Depends. Has that person been bitten by a death adder before? How much death have they had? Those things factor in the death arithmetic.

Because it brings attention and therefore money
