You're absolutely correct ... Double sideband AM and HiFi SSB 
with 4.5 and 6 KHz audio bandwidth are a complete waste of 
spectrum and are arguably illegal under rule 97.307(a): 

    No amateur station transmission shall occupy more 
    bandwidth than necessary for the information rate 
    and emission type being transmitted, in accordance 
    with good amateur practice. 

"Communications Quality Audio" has long been defined as 
ca. 2.7 - 3 KHz bandwidth ... a definition extending back 
into Bell Systems' "toll quality" standards. 

Those who use spectrum wasting modulation have no place on 
a crowded HF band ...
