“USB over I2S is in many ways better than any other digital connection for reproducing music at home”
It appears you have no direct experience with I²S yet otherwise you wouldn’t have made the above statement. I am not saying USB sucks but once you hear I²S from dedicated streamer (optimized for audio) you will not go back to USB or any other legacy outputs.
“Let’s not forget that sound studios work with computers to produce the music we listen to.”
The PRO studio implementation is in different stratosphere from home audio. Most people don’t have any clue how to optimize home network for audio which is a key to high resolution streaming.
