What you mean? In my post they're both hobbies, so are definitely like for like. Some people spend their free time restoring old cars or building yachts, other "do" music.
What I meant is with hobby you try to maximise your enjoyment that you're getting from the activity and the cost is (often, and to a reasonable degree obviously) secondary. Let me give you an example: if I was a professional producer I would probably stick to Live because it's easier to exchange projects, there's much more resources (eg. tutorials, M4L devices), better chance to collab with someone, etc. But because I'm a hobbyist I care for none of those things - I chose a DAW purely on the merit of how much fun & inspiration I get from it. Obviously it's important whether or not my budget allows for it, but if the answer's "yes" then I don't care that there's cheaper "alternative", because it's not really an alternative with respect to my primary criteria.
It's just like with anything else that costs something - shoes, pants, phone, computer, car, house. If the extra cost justifies extra features (whatever they may be!) then it's worth it!
Apparently for a lot of people here the extra things Bitwig has are not enough to compensate for the extra cost (or some missing features), so they simply shouldn't be buying it.
It's like if I was complaining that Ferrari costs 50x the price of my current car and that the price is unfounded, because it won't take me from A to B 50x faster, that I can't put 5 persons + their luggage in it and that it gets stuck on the speed bumps on my street
Apparently for many people it's worth the 50x price tag. I gotta go on Ferrari forums and explain to them they're stupid 
(and no, I'm not equating Bitwig to Ferrari
)
