As you know @Al KrowI am fully aware of compressors vs limiters vs limiter compressors, but you have encapsulated and confirmed the point that a limiter is a compressor, so.........if you say there is no need for a compressor but for a limiter, that is contradictory.
Thats without getting into modulation, distortion, tubes etc compressing sound blah blah blah ad nauseum.
All that aside, it’s whatever works for each musician and using anything in general should not be used as poor craft or musicianship as is sometimes brandished around, it’s just choice
