Rubbish. If your only job is nailing things down then you don't need a 500 piece socket set and a cordless drill. Any employee who asked for one would be turned down.

Well, that employee could ask for a nail gun for example and do the same job 10 times quicker compared to using a simple hammer.

Yes but a better FFT won't improve anything if my job doesn't involve FFTs.

A Rigol DS1054Z shows wiggly lines on screen just fine.

If a company has to invest in 100 Oscilloscopes then the difference in price isn't trivial. In your system you might end up with a fancy oscilloscope that you don't really need and a shitty chair.

Me? I'll tell the boss I want to trade a worse oscilloscope for a better chair.

I'm amazed how people who only work for infinitely rich companies feel entitled to post advice on buying cheap goods for home use.

One quick story, and then I promise I'll stop.

One customer I work with has a full, high-end Keysight suite (must be at least $40K per engineer) of equipment for each engineer.  On many visits, I've never seen any of it really used very much, even though they're all on, all the time, connected to nothing.

One engineer used his spectrum analyzer to determine when the microwave oven in the break-area was free.  I think he could probably have used a Rigol for the same job.  ::)
