Why Canon?

There have been a few threads, here and elsewhere, about why owners are fed up with Canon DSLR cameras. The lack of features, relatively poor dynamic range, as well as anything but state of the art video, seem to be the most common complaints. I personally have used Canon products for many years, including several point and shoot cameras, an early Rebel XT, a 40D, and my current T6s. So my question is, and this is not meant to be sarcastic at all, is why do we continue to stick with Canon?

For me, I am very familiar with the Canon menu structure and nomenclature, like the ergonomics, have many Canon lenses on hand, appreciate the excellent US based customer support, and have not yet hit any "ceiling" that limits my photography hobby. I never use the video function so, for me I couldn't care less about whether or not my camera has 4K. I did shoot some 4K with a GoPro I owned for a while, and found my connection speeds were too slow to support uploads to any hosting sites.

Dynamic range has not been an issue for me either. Especially at higher ISO values, it's competitive with most cameras, and at lower levels it is good enough that I don't personally have any issues. I know several pros, and they are split between brand preferences. One recently migrated from Nikon to Sony, another from Canon to Nikon, and others seem locked into one brand and stay there.

For those who still stay with Canon, I'm curious for the reasons you stay with Canon. I use a Sony HX90V as my point and shoot, and it's been very good ... but not perfect. No camera is. Is Canon that frustrating and archaic, and that slow to incorporate new technology, that owners should be abandoning the brand?

I stick with well, I have the lenses... sounds like a lot of work and money to re-aquire everything just for the sake of brand change
