When it comes to B A S S, finger or pick.?

Why is it usually almost impossible to hear the bassist in most tracks? The bassist mostly holds the piece together but is only heard if he/she's lucky. And why are there so few metal/cool bass builds.

I got a question.
Does distorted bass sound better in a metal context than clean? (I'm tryna settle a disagreement👍)

Ya'll, four or five string bass?
