CCD magic?

besides the intrinsic qualities of a CCD vs a C-MOS

I just recently bought myself a used S5pro and - more out of nostalgy - an S2pro. I still have an S3pro. All three delivered me excellent (!) pictures with almost magic colors.

I believe it is almost excluded that Fuji - or any other manufacturer - will restart to develop CCDs. Their development virtually stopped around 2005 or 06. I guess the manufacturing lines have dissappeared, as has research, and the expertise, as universally it is considered that cmos are the better alternative. Or is it only cheaper to make?

I will - when I have time - make some side to side shootings with my S3/S5 and my X-H1or X-T3 to find out how close the new ones can get to the output of the old sensors.

Do you know anything more specific about what makes the CCD files different from cmos?
