Ultimately I think what it comes down to is a kind of denial of modern technology. People are unwilling to admit that some things are just that good. Whether it be guitar amp sims, drum modeling plugins like MODO Drum, or pianos like Pianoteq, people still want to hold on to their belief that they will never be good enough, or that maybe they'd use it in a 'rough draft' scenario but never in a real production... It's always something.

 

i dont think that saying Pianoteq doesnt cut it makes you some type of musical Luddite

this is exactly on point, i dont think its necessary to imply people are too simple to understand this 'breakthrough'
also this whole thing where its light on CPU or whatever, who cares if the sound isnt there, how many pianos are you running at a time anyhow
I enjoy playing on it and welcome all the improvments to it, but this whole 'delete all your libraries, PT9 is here!' is a bit much
in any case, im always glad to have more choices
