      You are the exception, not the norm.

      Most people are on the bandwagon of buying the shiny new thing with a bigger version number once every year or two (even when the old one still works perfectly).

      The mecha comet is one of those devices that get hyped up among the nerds, but after a month 90%of them will either gather dust on a shelf or end up on the second hand market for cheap. You can see the same pattern in many nieche hardware subcultures, linux phones, flipper zero, raspberry pis, various digital music gadgets, AI bs hardware etc.

      (I have like 20 random things like that rotting in a box, just to be transparent)
