    the vast majority of the stuff they copy is at least as old as I am. I'm just not gonna get fussed if a company gets undercut charging boutique prices for a design they came out with in the 70s or 80s. hardware synthesizers would be largely out of reach to hobbyists without behringer

    and sure I'm all for guillotining Uli himself and replacing him with a worker cooperative

      This is untrue. Novation, Arturia, Meeblip (even Korg and Roland) and others all do cheap synths. Many of them pretty original. The thing you're arguing for is the old tech like the Jupiter 8 or the Junos. I dont think the sounds of those old keyboards is exclusive in this day and age, and there are workarounds for those sounds that aint imo. Plenty of modern albums also show this.
