Missing music was the reason I bought the PS2 version and I was able to make the comparison. That was before I was insane and bought the same game over and over again!

 

But then I realized that not only was music missing, there were random crimes that never happened in the Gamecube version and the game was more detailed and you could see further in the PS2 version. Of course, the 'Cube was a more powerful system. I just wanted to point out that, when it came to multi-platform games, the GameCube was usually under par for one reason or another. In my opinion, because games always sold less on that platform (and often released way after the PS2 and Xbox version).

view distance being lower on a GC port of a game again comes down to where you shouldn't judge hardware based on poor software, the GC simply has more RAM and a more advanced layout for memory than the PS2, shorter view distance comes down to a dev not utilizing the hardware of the GC as you might have suggested the port might not sell as much as the ps2 counterpart, considering that system had 6x the userbase at the end of the generation.

True Crime launched on both systems at the same time though, so not sure about the "way after" part you mention when it comes to release dates.

There must be a language barrier or something. I keep agreeing with you but it still feels like we're arguing.
