Unfortunately it is not satire. The audiophile community has a lot of these "snake oil" products, and they have their own followers. I believe they take advantage of the continuous pursuit of audio quality audiophiles have, even though it is not well founded, not does bring any quantifiable improvement.
You will see things like really expensive HDMI cables, or Power Cords that increase the treble, and many more.
Similar situation here. I use debugger on js and python extensively too, however, I do have a couple of frontend devs that I can't seem to make them use a debugger, even though I showed them the benefits of it, yet they keep using console logs all over the place.
