It definitely was back when it came up, which was late 50s. But now it's a mere audio thing

Lol yes, I know the origin. I'm looking for a source that says that's not why it's used today.

Not seeing anything that says that laugh tracks today are a mere audio thing. Seeing one quote from one page that vaguely agrees. I think your opinion isn't backed up by any real industry rule, just opinion.
