I can't play drums, but can play guitar, a drum computer could be helpful. We could have friends, but don't need to have a friend able to play drums. There's nothing wrong with this. However, the main goal of audio software should provide tools to make and mix music, but keeps artistic experience in the hands of the users. Replacing an orchestra by a computer allows those who can't pay an orchestra and the room for the orchestra, to hear their compositions for orchestra, more or less close to a real orchestra. Others might have the money to pay for the orchestra and the location, but can't compose for an orchestra. On the one hand nothing is speaking against a tool that helps a musician able to compose for a band, to rewrite the score for an orchestra ... _but_ ... IMO fist of all we should focus on tools that help us to compose and accomplish our own ideas, without assistance in artistic experience. The purpose of analysing recordings to assist in doing the mix, seems not that much needed as other helpers.
