Perhaps there's too much of an obsession on stardom and fame rather than talent? And hence the number of "openings" for concert pianists is reduced, while the demand on the stars is increased

And thus those who are equally talented simply didn't get their chance to shine as well as learn and grow from opportunities

I believe if Martha Argerich hadn't been absent from a concert, Yuja Wang (now famous) who replaced her that time wouldn't have had her big break
