Right, OP is saying (and I came here to agree) that the writer's use of the word "regret" was just clickbait — there's no actual regret predicted to take place except to music historians and the few ordinary people who know what they missed out on. Even the historian quoted says he's using the word "regret" metaphorically:
> "They're going to regret it," Seubert predicted. "Not financially or anything, but just from a historical perspective."
Music execs are in the business of selling music. The less music is available in the wild, the better for them.
