Its one thing to have gear access, but the second you think "I could make X if I had access to Y" you are already thinking about it wrong. If you want to make music and you are driven to do so you will use what you have to make what you like.
Early hip hop records didnt use samplers, they used pause tapes at least for the demo process. (see ATCQ People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm)
Early electro/house/hip hop used unrealistic sounding pawn shop gear (that has since become rare and sought after)
The beatles had crap guitars and played anyway.
I have a pretty sizable home studio and it definitely helps me craft sound, but it is just a tool not the reason...
