I think you’re ignoring the core point of the above comment, which is that the long pauses in the show for the laughs are a planned part of the show. If you’ve never been to a recording, the audience noises aren’t spontaneous. There are signs telling the audience when to make noise.

Some have actual studio audiences. Like IT crowd.

They had to tell the audience in Seinfeld to stop cheering for Kramer. And Seinfeld is still gold, baby!!!
So did The Big Bang Theory
The audience laughing wasn’t the problem with that show
Yea, they still added laugh tracks digitally, and also cue cards to laugh, as well as have a certain reaction. Yikes…
Oh yeah, definitely.
