Don't be so pedantic ed. Different people have different needs and time moves on in terms of technology. What had to be considered as a necessity is now optional. Technological development when it comes to cameras used to be left to those with money to spend, yes, it did. Now it is accessible to everyone. If people can invest long term on a camera that will make their hobby/job easier, then why not. If we all go by your rule, we'd all be using a compact camera.
Sure, I still use and am nostalgic about after the film era, but that doesn't mean i have to live there, I shoot digital because it facilitates a process that was once a pain in the ass (but a good one) so, so what If I ask for a bit more.
I still shoot film on a Pentax ProgramA. Does that mean I have to do that 24/7?
The answer is no.
