Interesting, do you think that computer music cannibalized other forms of music?

I may be biased, because I feel like personally, I would not have made music without the computer, because my main interest is in like full work composition of multiple instruments, and the barrier to entry to really learn an instrument does turn me off.

I don't know, but my gut tells me that is has not to any serious degree. That is, I don't think that many people who were making music without computers stopped doing that to make music with computers. Some may have added computers to their instrument repertoire, though.

There are definitely less bands playing together nowadays than 20 years ago and way less famous ones. While there are much more single musicians using computer music as base.
