To use the car analogy, people who love driving buy a stick shift Miata or Boxster to "feel the road" because the journey is just an excuse to drive the car whereas the rest focus on the destination because their car is merely an appliance to get there. Similarly, music is the destination for most people, which means practically any device that delivers music (Amazon echo, Apple Homepod, JBL partybox, etc.) will do and if they do pay extra it's because it looks cool (B&O speakers for example). However, there are the crazy audiophiles who obviously want to get to the destination of good music, but the journey of equipment selection is a required ritual before arriving to the music.
So the general populace who are simply focused on the music itself with little regard to the ritualistic shamanism of equipment selection that are the trademark of audiophiles (this includes both objectivists and subjectivists as we both invest way too much time into reading reviews, researching, demoing, etc.) - these are the music only people cannot relate to the obsession and passion of audiophiles who treat music as part of a larger pursuit that includes the room, acoustic treatment, electronic devices, speakers and music content (analog, vinyl, digital, high rez, spatial audio, etc.). They are the "most" you speak of who are doing something else while the music is playing.
