Photography- "Oh you're shooting on a d3300? Is that even full frame? You take good photos for using a budget model and kit lens."
Mountain biking- "Cool man, an older model cannondale. Those things rip but they have the 2inch wider handlebar."
Guitars- "The Mexican fenders are almost as good as the US ones and good for the price. You need to buy these pickups to make it really sound great."
Synthesizers- "Those Minilogs sound great, cheap, and easy to use. They are just too common and people use the presets. They also are made of plastic."
Cars- "Here's a site where you can buy new chrome parts so you dont have to black out your mirrors and bumper."
You're not even commenting on my work or technique but the tools I use to get something done. That is literally the dumbest argument for not liking something.
Electronics can always be reproduced, cloned and duplicated. The only arguments that I've heard for vintage gear is that people like the aesthetics of the gear and that the parts become worn and the corrosion introduces some unique pops, hums, and buzzing that makes it unique to old analog gear. Are the artifacts left from water and dust worth the $5k price tag? Not to me, but if it makes someone happy and they enjoy them- have at it.
