Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound?


Wondering why more people aren't into reel to reel if they're looking for the ultimate analog experience? I know title selection is limited and tapes are really expensive, but there are more good tapes available now than ever before.
People refer to a recording as having "master tape quality",  well you can actually hear that master tape sound through your own system and the point of entry to reel to reel is so much more affordable than getting into vinyl.  Thoughts?

 Those who do not listen OFTEN to LIVE acoustic music aka , jazz or symphonic, have not given their brain a tract that understands what music really sounds like.
Those who have tend to use tubes because they alone sound like a room
with air in it .

Before I gave a thought to tubes or transistors, when I was in high school in the 50's, I listened to the radio. During this time the music sounded special. In the 60's, after tubes were replaced by transistors, it didn't seem to sound as good.

The most dramatic change was when juke boxes in lounges went all SS plus digital; people quit playing the jukebox, it was flat, no life.
@orpheus10  : MUSIC has no name: tube, SS, digital, analog, etc, etc.
MUSIC has the unique characteristic to " move " any one no matters what, MUSIC always has LIFE:
