That might have been the reason in the 70's and 80's, but in the 90's I think the reason was simply work. Getting paid to entertain other people. Your answer doesn't really explain why Ketron or Gem didn't really price their instruments 'for the home user'.

But anyways, who cares....the present is all that matters.
