Yes, the use the best gear, but that isn't why they're the best engineers in the world.

A lot of good/great records have been made with very limited gear, especially EDM records.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that you should think about your selection of tools and supplement where YOU need them, but I'm not buying for a second that everyone NEEDS more than what comes with their DAW.
