To be fair, so was Reaperducer, with the "Only if your taste in music is very narrow" bit.

You are 100% correct. But not for the reasons you imply. Music recording is just barely 120 years old, and mass market music media sales are, perhaps 75-80 years old.
And since many of those recordings are still around, with more music being recorded every year, it's no wonder there's more music available now than there ever has been.
That said, Sturgeon's Law[0] applies to music as well as everything else.
The volume of music available for an average person anywhere in the world to purchase today is many orders of magnitude greater than any era in the past.
