Although I recognize that tracker modules save a lot of storage space and load time due to re-use of sound samples, as a form of compression, the future is going to be large sampled audio files like a single ogg file for the whole song. Part of the benefit is with a single audio sample you can vary the audio in any way you like, have as many sounds as you like, play them as many times as you like overlapping any number of times, add all sorts of effects, etc, very fine grained control that you lose with tracker modules. Modules do have limitations like the number of samples, number of concurrent channels, available effects, etc. They really were born in a time of limited resources, lack of memory, lack of storage, lack of cpu power, etc.
