MIDI 2, politics-adjacent
honestly, under capitalism -any- upgrade in standards, no matter which field it's in and no matter how necessary, is going to shut out smaller developers by very nature of the fact that all this stuff needs to be purchased, and our society has essentially made money our lifeblood.
there's definitely a thing to be said for keeping things as easy to work with as possible, but at the same time refining existing shit -by its very nature- means it's going to get less easy to understand and there's really nothing you can do about that beyond trying to find the right balance between perfect results and comprehensibility by the human mind
