If they all disappeared the demand for audio gear would take a hit.
On top of that many audiophiles don't necessarily listen to their systems all the time, may go for periods not doing so, so they're out too...
Soon enough it would be gone.
Elephants welcome!
(anyway, who cares, as long as the Chinese are interested in it the rest *could* just go away LOL)

One wonders how much this is due to limitations of their systems vs. other factors. If one's system is not musical or is ultimately fatiguing, one may feel the need to turn it off and leave it off.

To me, that is an incredibly sad statement about the people who suffer from this problem. To think of spending all that time (and presumably quite a bit of money) searching for high-level sound quality only to discover your system is really unlistenable is a fascinating concept to me.
It's one thing to have quality limitations imposed by your budget, the room or other factors beyond one's control, but quite another to intentionally choose equipment you can't live with. That truly is an elephant in the room. Yet, one doesn't have to read this and other forums for long to affirm there are plenty of people who inflict perpetual unhappiness on themselves.
In my experience it can be other things entirely, especially when observing other people.
However, I must admit that all the talk does lead me to suspect that if what you suggest, or question, is a big mitigating factor that I should thank my lucky stars I have such a great system ... and there are times when I'm not listening to mine LOL
