That's a funny way of looking at it.
The reality is that most of the people you're talking about will "waste" their meagre salaries on trivial stuff like streaming music services and satellite TV. Taylor Swift didn't sell millions of albums to nobody.
Music is entertainment, and it makes people's crappy lives more enjoyable, and that's a pretty valuable service, which is why it can be so lucrative for some people.
