This is an absolute disgrace of an ad. As a creative person, hobby musician, fan of good things such as metronomes, pianos and speakers, it's just disgusting to watch. I can't believe there might be an audience that actually finds this appealing in any way. Just beyound terrible.

Do you know metronomes and pianos and trumpets go to the landfill every day all the time? What’s the disgrace here? That you actually see it?

The ad is going for symbolism so that's the framework for interpreting it. The disgrace would be in that interpretation.
To make this clear, I'll describe a hypothetical ad for a fast food restaurant that depicts throwing away common groceries, because you don't need those pesky things anymore. Food is wasted and disposed of every day in famously large quantities. Does that exculpate the ad from the obvious criticisms?
