I think the guy with 5 sound cards might be the exception that proves the rule - the conversation was about playing back audio from the browser not which OS starts to fall apart when you need a DAW for your band.

well, no, the web audio API & stuff is explicitly being sold as something that will be equal in capability to other solutions, so definitely things used for pro audio.
Even quite modest normal setups will have several input or output devices. Just on my laptop I have hdmi audio, built in speaker and mic, USB headset, bluetooth headset and remote audio from an RDP session.
