I was going to comment about the price, but you kind of wrapped it up.

It's like the most popular form of innovation nowadays is just marginally nicer products with a massive premium on them - and I don't get how this is sustainable. Or maybe there's just way more people with massive amounts of disposable income than I realize...

There's no breakthrough of like "here's an amazing product, and by the way, it's for everyone".

This whole culture of scarcity, scalping, hoarding, FOMO, premium, it's so played out I'm literally done with it. This is paired with terrible customer support that takes customers for granted.

Very few companies seem to value their customers, and don't want to squeeze them. Tech, cars, consoles... You name it.

So this is my current stance: I'm out of the market for the foreseeable future, unless something breaks and I need to replace it. Even the "nice to have" stuff is down to almost zero.

I disagree with this take. Particularly because this isn't just a little more of this or that. It's a well-integrated set of features that should have already been on the market in some form, but wasn't really. And it's also a premium setup in terms of each feature individually. It really does feel like the whole is more than the sum of its parts in practical terms.

I don't feel FOMO. I'm thinking more "why did it take this long?"
