It’s a waiting game. The younger generation of DJ requires the tech that Denon currently offer and unless pioneer completely change track then they aint going to get it from them. It’s going to take a while but the tide will change or even up eventually. The so called club standard only lives up to it’s name if you set the bar low. Emergency loop comes to mind.
Intense and Tomorrowland rents its gear from DJayGear. A dutch company. They have Denon primegear in plenty configurations.

Thats a whole different class then local events like your local 3000 guest scouts party.
The AV rental companies in that middle segment don’t own Prime gear, and will not bother to drive to the netherlands (from Belgium) to rent Prime gear, just because one local DJ, playing a one hour set on a 1000 guest scouts party, asked for it. They will just provide the Pioneer gear (mostly CDJ2000, not 3000) they have been providing for the last 20 years. If you get those AV companies to buy Prime gear you can turn the tide, if you don’t, local DJs will keep using Rekordbox for convenience reasons. These rental companies don’t care for the DJ gear in their stock. But its also these kind of rental companies that local DJs have their first gigging experience with. So if you ask yourself why local beginning DJs think Pioneer is the best, there is your answer…

Absolutly can´t agree with that! I´m really loving my setup of a Xone96 with 2 SC6000Ms and 2 LC6000s. Best solid gear around with awesome community.
and of course we had newest Pioneer stuff like CDJ3000s to test several times, I had never the feeling I have to switch back to them. I still stay with my Denon gear.
