> black and full of ports and cables like an actual musical device.

Why does an "actual music device" have to be a certain color? I don't follow most of you argument, but especially that.

I didn't say they have to be, just that the vast majority are, maybe because they get a lot of usage and black is a good color for hiding dirt, maybe because they stand out less.

You kinda did though.

> "they look so clean...sacrificing ergonomy, since the aesthetic is what they are selling, so they can't look gnarly, black...like an actual musical device."

You're arguing that because they are a status symbol and have to look "clean and minimalist" they can't look black like an actual music device looks like. Of which I think your main point in that statement is that OP-1 != "actual music device".

Did I interpret it incorrectly?
