This contradicts the egalitarian ethos most musicians and their fans espouse.

Well sure, that's part of TM's value add. Musicians can get the money they want without damaging their brand.

I would like to question the "most" there though. Maybe egalitarianism is a strong theme in your preferred genre. Mine is more "get money, get paid" and "bitches aint shit".
