As someone who is not a musician - crushing all those instruments into one crazy thin form factor may allow me to play around with music but I’d never claim to be a musician

As a software engineer, I appreciate that crushing all sorts of dev tools into a graphical representation like Scratch, let’s many people get some taste of programming, but I’m not worried that they’re somehow implying it will take my job or my creativity

Sure. Although I wouldn’t say someone who creates music entirely on an iPad can’t be a musician.

This is similar to other forms of art. I’ve played around with visual arts on the iPad in ways I otherwise never would, but I wouldn’t call myself an artist. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t artists whose entire medium is iPad.
