It's true and I'm no different and in constant contradiction. I'm envious of both the creators of the Orchid and its customers. I don't have money for these kinds of purchases, so these products are not a consideration for myself. Not everyone shares that luxury. Instead, I spend way more time than I'm worth hourly than that $600 fighting the web audio context to make something similar.
I don’t know if you want advice so skip this comment if not; for anyone who is in a similar situation and does:
I’d skip expensive gear and use cheaper replacements or whatever I already have. Pick an iphone, ipad, ableton lite, acoustic guitar, or any other tool or instrument. Use that to make music and have fun. Optionally show my music to other people.
