Interesting. I kind of view putting on live performance as a class of musician of its own. Takes you from bedroom composer to a real performer.

Even i could carefully piece together music over long period of time using computers, software, music instruments, sequencers, sound modules, etc.

But to perform live, on the spot, memorize all the notes and arrangements and whatever lyrics makes you not only a musician but a performer which is high pressure, requires lots of practice, etc. More improvisation.

Though i suppose a hybrid would be someone who doesn't like to physically tour but can live stream and perform music from home?

It comes down to what the people who create it want to do at the end of the day.

But music attracts a lot of people who hate interacting with other people. There's a surprising amount of introversion and stalwart independence in the music scene. Mostly because by design it attracts artsy people who are more likely to be very introverted. I know this because my dad was in the music scene for a while.

So, the logical conclusion is that since digital music is a thing now, the people who are drawn to music are less likely to ever even consider touring and becoming performers.

I suppose live streaming on YouTube or twitch or whatever is indeed an option, but somehow that concept feels... off. I don't know how exactly to put it. It feels like it would be more artifical than just creating music and not touring period. It's easy to hear the talent in recorded music and tell whether or not it's created with real instruments and raw vocals or FL studio and autotune in any case.
