Selling the MPC Live

This is true.
But doesn't mean today's devices shouldn't use today's technology or that today's users shouldn't have today's needs, accordingly.

I mean, you could be using a Nokia phone from 2000 – because it totally worked for people back then and many of them still do – to keep in touch with people, but chances are you prefer a modern one because it makes many things smoother and easier.
And if your favorite phone company put out a new model of your current phone and you bought it and realized, sh*t, I actually have to connect it to computer now to do some stuff that could be considered basic actions (edit your list of addresses, for example) and which you probably should be able to do on the phone alone, you'd probably make a point about it.

And then someone could say to you, these new phones ain't gonna do it for you.

Your comparison makes sense, except what if your new phone can't send text messages/SMS on your new phone anymore, and your friends still don't have WhatsApp? (i.e. old synths talk sysex, and MPCL can't talk it properly apparently). Or what if your new phone doesn't save your changes to the contacts list although the button is there?
