Correct, it's aligning played musical notes to a bar (measure) on a computer screen.

Then almost always, a clone tool is used to repeat that one bar identically dozens of times.

So you lose most of the organic nature of music in a mechanical fashion.

I agree you're losing something that might be valuable, but it's not really part of the music, rather part of the performance. I think there's room for both though, just as we've had studio vs live recordings for the last 50 years or so.

Who needs humanity when you can have mathematical perfection?

Beside humans?
