I did my best,tested many demos,many times tried to like some of most popular ones and to justify the money i have to spend...maybe i miss the right place where to put them,i don't know,just my point of view is - if can't use a synth or fx in first 5 min demoing it and to have results,it's waste of time and money,that's my process of work and logic...test...buy...use...

Sure, you're right, don't buy if it isn't doing it for you. Honestly, if your preferences are Sylenth1, Massive, Vital, and Serum, it's no wonder you're not interested in analog emulations.

Look, I don't like apple juice, I find it sickeningly sweet and have never found one that changes my opinion on it. Should I be calling apple juice a marketing gimmick made for old white people?

No you don't,but if somebody sell me an apple juice and label it as grape for 150 euro to me this is at least disappointing ...
I am disappointed and i have opinion based on my experience,that's all.
White folks shouldn't be insult yet,if old was trigger sorry didn't wrote it as something negative...just the fact is that market do anything to survive these days and use any tricks,that's my point...agree or disagree ...it's your opinion
Cheers

Statistics show that higher consumption is in children for lower income, black and Hispanic communities. If they're marketing to old white people, it's just trying to tap a new market.
So this raises a question of whether software companies are just trying to tap new markets of those fantasizing of, but with no real talent or persistence to develop a skill.

There was a report a few decades ago that stated the only two businesses that did well in recessions were liquor stores and music stores (mainly guitars). Which is why we see so many as a living room decoration that no one plays...

I use Diva all the time for bass, bass isn't something that needs a "modern" sound in every song here, analog bass sounds stand the test of time like a hardware snare drum sound does IMO.

I fully agree, and I use it mostly for that. But most of the time, I go to phase plant, avenger 2 or subboombass2, they also do has very well.
And when I want a "creamy" bas, my first reflex is obsession, not diva. (I am sure diva could make it too but obsession is just faster for me).
I have the legend too but I am not into Moog sound.

Mostly the voice modulation sound in the Memorymoog is fairly unique and great to program, it's not a vintage sound, it's a technique for synthesis, it's like saying all subtractive synthesis and DX7 style FM is out of date and only modern techniques can be used.

I agree also and I am not saying that. But these synthesis technique are not mainstream as say FM or granular or spectral. So it is more for"specialist" as I was saying. (Me saying it is for specialist doesn't mean it isn't useful, it is just a law of diminishing returns).
