The real niche IMO is in game music. If you can get the music to respond in real time to players actions without becoming repetitive that's probably worth 100+M across the industry even if it's never 'great'.

I think you nailed it.

The real utopia here is putting your headphones and listening to appropriate and good music.

Music responding to gaming, sports, chill, on-the-train, falling asleep, without user input would be pretty cool.

In its day, Rez achieved this more convincingly than many games. It was a real ear opener.
