There are plenty of reasons to learn an instrument
To gain a better understanding of music in general
To have fun
To have that satisfying feeling of self improvement

It really depends on your goals.
Also there's a ton of things you can do on just about any instrument, to think that only one way of making music is "fresh and exciting" is kinda reductive

You still need to learn music theory and it's much easier to do that if you play an instrument

>You still need to learn music theory
The type of garbage made on computers today requires no theory whatsoever.

the shitty music doesn't

I don't know what you listen to but even shit like disclosure and deadmau5 has heaps of theory behind why it sounds good.

It's fun and immediately gratifying when improvising something that sounds good.

Virtually all music is made "with computers and productions" including music involving "actual physical instruments".

Synths and drum pads are "actual physical instruments" by the way.

Why not just learn whatever you need to make the sort of music you're interested in making?

The real question... is why are so many of the posters on /mu/ obsessed with hyperbolic absolutes?
It's like you guys are oblivious to the concept of gradience.

This is how most of the world works. It's why the "two-party system" is so successful.
