Why is there so much separation between the professional audio and audiophile worlds?

Pro is about getting the job done well within a budget.  
Home is often as much about bling as sound and individuals can take it as far as they want. 

Everything that I listen to was not recorded well to various degree.
We just have to do our best.

The more I researched the further i drifted from "audiophile " equipment. I now use Genelec speakers and a streamer and am enjoying some of the best sound I have ever heard in my life. Even though I can hear the distortion of a sax reed in some old Jazz recordings I even enjoy knowing that's the way they heard it when it was recorded. 

Wow i did not know that.
