(In both senses of the words) music is a staple of North American bands and their exploiting, peddlar, colluding, corporations.
For most of the USA, ISPs are also making streaming untenable.
And, of course, - the artists don't get paid.
Apple and AMazon could close Tidal within the year. Europe might help out QoBuz, - but the market penetration of QoBuz in the uSA is about as close to zero as one can get.
High resolution, and high quality recordings, (as you said), aren't affordable, and the USA consumer doesn't want to pay for them, nor will they be able to tell if it's high quality or not.

Sorry but your rant is confusing me. What am I whitewashing? Why is it crappy? Homogenous means having a common property throughout or composed of parts of the same kind but I do not understand your use of the word in this context."

Which words? Music, staple? It is of course axiomatic that music is a staple of a band.
" And, of course, - the artists don't get paid. "
All of them? If so how can some complain about how much they get paid if they are not being paid? viz. Peter Frampton.
" High resolution, and high quality recordings, (as you said), aren't affordable," Where did I say that?
" For most of the USA, ISPs are also making streaming untenable."
Why is that? Is it something specific to the USA?

Not a rant....
""All of them? If so how can some complain about how much they get paid if they are not being paid? viz. Peter Frampton.""
Yes, - not being paid ENOUGH for their work. And, - being paid far less than the old model (which wasn't very good either, - but better than now).
"Why is that? Is it something specific to the USA?"
Yes,- due to monopolies, greed, oppression, Broadband Internet Access simply is either not available, or is so expensive that it's in effect, - not available.
""" High resolution, and high quality recordings, (as you said), aren't affordable," Where did I say that?""
Sorry, - I meant to say, - as you seemed to imply. In that labels aren't spending the money to produce and invest in high quality recordings because the market and (especially) US consumers don't want to pay for high quality recordings.
