People enjoy watching you play because robots can’t do it better yet.

Do people enjoy watching you give directions?

No one is gatekeeping it. Just saying your activity is only appreciated by people because an affordable robot can’t do it better yet.

I don't need people to enjoy watching me play. I'd still play even if it was just for myself.

That said, I imagine IRL people will always enjoy a demonstration of skill. That's a bit orthogonal to just enjoying the music on its own though since it includes an element of performance. If robot bands could put on super entertaining live shows and produce amazing (better than human) music, I'd be first in line to listen.
