This list of SNES extra chips on Wikipedia makes no mention of any sound chips on cartridges, but apparently some Famicom cartidges had ones.
I had a Sega Megadrive growing up, but I think the stock SNES sound chip was better than what the Sega had. I have a vague memory too that some SNES games had a sound chip on their cartridges, but the purpose of which was to enable the abuse of the original sound chip for non-audio processing.
I think in the end it might be that the Sega soundchip was more limited that what SNES had and thus the good songs had to be more carefully written and arranged to fit the limitations. I think one reason why Sonic 1 OST is so good it was made by a bassist as I think it's the bass that is most lacking on Sega games. But bassists tend to be quite sensitive to tone so I'm sure that helped.
Example: compare the hospital theme of EarthBound to the Star Light Zone theme, which seems to be Genesis chip bass at its most mellow and even then the bass line consists of pretty detached notes, I think in order to work around limitations. It works here because the music demands it, but I think SNES is the general winner here as it could support a bass and drum propelled track like the above.

Also Streets of Rage. Also didn't lots of higher end SNES games just use an extra music chip on the cartridge anyway?

I actually think hold and no hold are both interesting games in their own right. Hold makes basic survival easier at first, but that's why TGM3 uses it as an excuse to crank the speed up even faster and expect the player to utilize this privilege well in order to keep up. But TGM1/2 forces you to keep your stack neater and ready for anything, whatever pieces you get you have to be able to deal with them.
If I was in charge of making the perfect Tetris implementation, they'd both be present as two separate game modes with separate leaderboards.

genesis had some great tunes imo, esp. the sonic games and Junction, but if you're saying that the average music quality on SNES is higher than on genesis then i agree

i don't think you have to be nice to capitalists either but it's safe to assume that most of the "capitalists" you meet on the internet have virtually no capital

Also I think pizza is possibly the most overrated food. I don't like it very much!

I don't think people should necessarily have to be [member of X group] before they're allowed to have opinions on [things relating to X group] cause all that means is that you're excluding 1. Members of [X group] who value their privacy, or are closeted, or want to avoid torrents of group-membership-based internet hate should they be public about it and 2. People not in [X group] who are decent enough people to listen when others tell them to stay in their lane.
You are, importantly, NOT excluding people who are shitty enough to just lie and say "yeah I'm a member of [X group]," and in fact making their voices proportionally louder.

I think it's pretty apparent given that some of the most enthusiastic about those jokes are white and/or straight themselves. I feel like it can function as a form of deflection.
