Can you imagine a society where most of the population had never even SEEN sheet music for their ENTIRE LIVES And compare that to our world and say we're the musically illiterate ones

Come on dude it's been literally decades since I've played music in any capacity and yet I can go online right now, find sheet music for a popular song and hum the melody and/or pick it out on a keyboard Because I took piano lessons as a kid
