Because modern business decisions are based on business sustainability.
Acting on this kind of thinking is relatively new. If you go back just 20 some years, this was not the case, well not so much anyways. I think this comes from people in charge of corporations being *too* business oriented, and scheme on ways to keep us upgrading, subscribing, blah, blah.
A musical device (and I had/have a lot of them) when I grew up was already fully functional, a finished product, for its declared purpose, and worked most of the time without interruption. Today they are sold before the software is finished, and they try to convince us that it has a better value, well, for business it does, so in a weird sense they aren't lying.
Granted devices were not as elaborate as today, but it was effortless to use them too, which I have to say is often not the case today. We spend too much time nurturing the software/hardware itself rather than using it as the tool for which it was created.
Anyways, the MPCX standalone has such unbelievable potential, and I cannot wait for Akai to improve the functionality to be as good as it can. Integration is nice, but it is intruding on the spirit of standalone, which is the reason I bought it.
