Harder to make a particularly good/catchy track? Sure, although it's probably much easier to make simple tracks with the limited resources of 8/16 bit whereas a lot more time and effort probably has to go in to each track nowadays because it's up to a much higher quality. The point is lots of people make a massive deal of stuff being 16 bit when ultimately you should be judging the final product and how it sounds, not the fact that is was harder to make. You probably look it at much differently since you make music yourself though.

The last line is correct.

Also, 16-bit isn't really the issue, it's the 8 channels. 8 channels may sound like plenty but more goes into 8 channels than instruments playing. Writing a score and bringing musicians into a sound studio takes a bit more organizing, but the end result pays for itself. A solo composer using analog equipment to write tracks in 16 bit trying to emulate what it would sound like with a full room of musicians isn't very easy to accomplish.

The higher quality of todays music is more a result of the technology available over time and effort. A lot of these guys were working such a limited amount of space on the cartridge to begin with, they had to write specifically to fill memory quotas, whereas in the CD age music could just be re-rendered at a lower bitrate without compromising any of the elements of the track.

You record the sounds and send me 24-bit WAV files of them and I'll do it

Spoiler: show

once I get my studio computer fixed
