I see what you mean, and agree. As with music, which, at its root, can be thought of as a library of theoretical constructs and prior art, new technological inventions, too, must utilize that which has become standardized or commonplace. Attempting to innovate by circumventing prior art only leads to a form or gridlock or stalemate, if not regression, which Merriam-Webster defines as: a gradual loss of differentiation and function.
