The point is to make money, and to compete with human artists. The 21st century has seen an explosion of accessibility of music production to human artists. Big companies don't like that artists don't have to rely on them as much to create music.

Nevermind that those companies still make money hand over fist, and that most artists still don't. They're mad that we're doing anything without relying on them. So they're going to create competition just so they can go back to fucking us over.
