99% of this is not people creating "better" (whatever that is) art. It is, if my experience with photography is any guide, people churning out the same crap everyone else does, while affecting a position of being somehow superior because they "aren't obsessed with the latest gear" - while being, in fact, vastly more obsessed with what equipment to use.

Their skill may be mapped to specifics. It's a kind of technical debt.

Remapping those onto new gear may cost them more than they feel it's worth, or they don't see the value somehow.

Whether that makes objective sense varies a lot.
