some americans claim to not be broke so it's more of an ignorance that they don't know what to do with their money to get a return on investment, they don't see the value in it or they don't know what specific things to buy and how many things they would need/want for a complete studio setup that fits within their overall budget. they perform mental gymnastics like that normies won't appreciate the nuances in the sound anyway and they claim it's almost all in the songwriting and performance because they're painfully aware of how much engineering goes into it.
