It defenitely is (at least assuming a certain basic sound quality is ensured, which it should be for pretty much everyone).
And well, no pun intended (seriously), but people rather spend some hard earned money on a new piece of kit than another playing hour.

as you said "Some" this is not true of everyone some like me practice a lot (as much as time permits) but still like nice gear
so it varies by individual really
20 years or so ago I saw him play with Robi Draco Rosa in an awards show he sounded so good everything was perfect! And I’ve been a fan since then and his demos always remind me that is not the gear.

Not to you at all, but in general people will always complain about either "that guy" is too good for doing demos as he will always get great tones or that other guy has too much great gear and can't make thing sound amazing and so on.....
Which begs the question… why do we argue over what gear sounds the best when we can “make anything sound good” like Pete if we work on our technique and get really good? Seems the shortest and cheaper way to good tone is practice. Funny how the playing technique sections of forums are one of the most neglected. Not pointing any fingers really just making an observation of activities that I'm totally guilty of myself.

Except he didn’t say that one can’t like killer gear. And you just said …”as much as time permits”
I have a feeling there’s way more YouTube and Forum use than woodshed with many.
Charlie Parker was one of the greatest jazz musicians. But unlike most artists, he had a cavalier attitude toward his equipment. He would pawn his saxophone for drug money and show up for a concert without an instrument. He assumed that he could always borrow a saxophone at the last minute. He...
Pete does make everything sound good but I enjoy his demos. They may not show what a piece of gear will do in my hands but it's nice to hear what it's capable of.
