We could if we wanted, but that would be boring. Also I think making
music via interesting, rich means can reflect on the resulting music.

I don't think it matters if they do carry on conversations, eat or drink
during a performance. As I understand it this is how 'classical' music
used to be enjoyed before commerce took over and invented the modern
concert hall with its superstar conductor etc. Sitting face forward
completely still ignoring all those around you soaking in the perfect
sound performed by high geniuses is a entirely modern idea AFAIK.

Yep, we need audiophile lisp machines to play back revision control
