Thwn I'd expect higher figures for musicians, swayed by the top .01% that suck up all the fame and royalties.

I think they realize it's quite unlikely to "make it" as a musician.

It's also obvious just how much work being a musician is. Even a child understands that you can't just pick up an instrument and play your favorite song without training. Whereas the work in being a Youtuber/Twitch streamer is hidden from the audience.
