Chazzanim werwe a bigger deal when nobody has a siddur and needed the chazzan to be motzi them for shemoa esrei. the printing of siddurim changed all that. Chazzanus is enjoyable to some the way opera is to some and petcha is to others. Where some see petcha I see jellied calf’s foot. Where some hear chazzanus I hear “Pavarotti wannabe”. To each his own.
