I will never understand how this is a hobby.

Why are you even here? And that's a serious question.....

“The worlds music is at our fingertips.”

Absolutely.

does this apply to biasing your tube amps? I mean they sound great right now, but I'm due for checking the bias...

Op Iam glad you put this thread.The more l  listen to my system my listening skills get better. Even if your system is already good, one day you notice something that is missing, like bass , clarity, speed, texture, soundstage. Before I will make a tweak, I will listen to my reference cd or vynil. From country, jazz, classical, even rock. Then I will figure it out if I still want to make changes.

I don’t think biasing counts. 
it’s regular maintenance.
