This music is great! It must be because of these capital intensive goods which I use to play the music not the human and social society which produced it.

Counterpoint: there are very reasonable priced headphones and DAC/AMP combos.
Yes, but most audiophiles are constantly seeking their endgame™ setup, which will then be worthless garbage when they try something else that sounds slightly better. At a certain point, I stop giving a shit how "lifelike" the snare sounds and just listen to the music. They're just audio equipment hoarders and should be bullied relentlessly.
Is that most audiophiles or the ones that are the most vocal? People who are completely satisfied with their setups will stop talking about it eventually
idk I'm just going by what every audiophile forum looks like to me
Yeah hardware forums will be mostly people obsessed with hardware. The audiophiles who are happy with what they got are talking about movies or music or whatever

Also, it's entirely possible to be into audio without lusting over $2000 cables. Much in the same way that many people are into looking fashionable without buying $2000 Versace shirts.
