Nope, the wording in the SDK explicitly says, and I quote "VST 2 API source code is NOT part of this VST 3 license!"

It is the same, there is only the pre-2018 licenses.

(But a few hosts that avoided VST3 due to licensing may implement it now due to this change.)

AU support grew because Logic Pro only loads AU, Logic userbase is a attractive enough market for plugin devs.

On the other hand, there is not a single DAW that only loads CLAP.

That's the same problem Steinberg faced with VST3 years ago, every host/DAW/plugin supported VST2 (including Cubase), there was no reason for devs to switch to VST3.

Steinberg forced the issue killing the VST2 licenses, any new plugin and host had only access to the VST3 license, even then devs resisted, only recently Steinberg announced future Cubase/Nuendo versions won't support VST2 anymore (plugin devs may hate Steinberg, but they won't simply leave Cubase/Nuendo users without support, they are not to blame for Steinberg's stupidity).

CLAP can't force the issue the same way Steinberg did with VST3, there is no CLAP-only DAW either.

Not only Session View, but also its absence of effing toolbars, wish people realized how genius that is.
