Do you really mean it serious with your last post?
Wrong. Midi is a standard that survived decades and by that it only shows how good and well the Midi association worked together to create this standard. Not midi lost a lot of users, Steinberg lost them and that is the hard truth. If a DAW cant provide good midi implentation and relies on heavy, overpriced midi controllers and propriarity written drivers for it, it is simply bad for most users that cant afford these stuff. Hence they go (to Ableton, Logic etc.).
A hardware device without midi, is simply lost (value). Show me good hardware, that does not need or have it.
Wrong. I showed you a “simple” example with the K and A-Stations that two-way communication is easy possible (both under 300-400€ btw.). Very underestimated devices, that provide many good (midi) value. A VST fanboy might not see it and cant understand, why you would need such a device, if they have a soft synth version of it. These devices provide 24 knobs at least, that could also be easily used as a midi-controller, they have audio-in that can be routed to filters, a vocoder and also a very potent midi-clock, that you can use in live setups and dont use a DAW at all. Can your VST version do this?
Not to mention standards that survived decades like MCU, HUI etc. all of them with two-way communication and midi 1.0.
Midi 1.0 was AND is fast enough, to do even the complexest things. Steinberg seems not having enough good developers, that really understand the midi standard and make good usage of it.
Midi 1.0 is so ancient, that it seems that there are not many people that really can handle the limits from the past and let me tell you, it is not the speed for sure. It is more converting decimal values into hex or even binary and vice versa and how to read these values and numbers. One of the main reasons, why faders dont work properly with (both) midi-remote editor (not at all) and midi-remote API scripts. You get rounding errors, that create jittering faders, double sended values etc.
Unable to understand how 14-bit messages are created and that these messages are used across the entire midi devices spectrum, be it Pitchwheel, NRPN and RPN values, is just a shame.
If you are not able to read and completely understand a midi-implementation chart, you will not be able to fully understand what a device has to offer and Steinberg devs seems to lost this part entirely. If users are needed to explain and praying for years what is needed for a DAW to support properly midi-controllers and BASIC midi operations (that exist over two decades already), then there is something fundamentaly wrong in that department. Your opinion on this might vary.
Not only that, here comes the best part: On initial release of the midi-remote (and editor), you could not control midi tracks… 
Clearly a 
department.
Good luck for you and the midi 2.0 standard and a company that does not even understand the “old” midi 1.0 standard. My prophecy on this is, it will be a catastrophic failure.
