Unquantified moving goalposts arent metric.
Meanwhile, plenty of professionals use SoundToys plugins and their longstanding peers like Waves etc; maybe the 'chase the new shiny' cycle is genre specific, but in the wider worlds of recording and post, any set of interviews with producers etc will see those plugins mentioned far more than the constantly shifting flavour of the month 'state of the art'. And the state of the art is constantly volatile, so you're basically saying nothing stays good enough.
Now Im assuming 'PRO' means 'professional' rather than 'fashionable' or 'trending now' or whatever. But this is the classic bedroom producer notion of what 'professional' is; the 'lol ProTools aint Pro cuz noone I know uses it' fallacy; assuming that the wider world has to reflect one's own experience or preference.
Yeah, there are more advanced tools. But 'more advanced' isn't the sole driving force in what tools people choose, especially professionals.
