If you ask why... I think that the most relevant answer is that the musician nowadays has to wear lots of different hats. He or she should be a writer, a producer, an engineer, should play different instruments, should shoot a video and at the end of the day should be a marketer to market all the art produced. If (e.g.) I am interested in just playing guitar, it would be quite hard for me to carry all that stuff.
