I was watching this video about why older models are still great cameras. They mentioned that the X-T2, I believe does, not have Acros which is kind of a dealbreaker. I don't expect an X100s to get Eterna Bleach Bypass, but it would be nice if at least the last model gets the new models film simulations. So basically my question is are film simulations never added with firmware updates?

I don’t see how the lack of a film sim can be a dealbreaker. What if Fuji had never created the Acros sim? Would you be saying dealbreaker unless Fuji creates Acros? It’s a good thing Fuji created Acros or no one would be buying their cameras.

This is about the desire for a feature; which can be a film sim, a tilt screen, eye detect, good AF tracking, or even IBIS. If that's something you really want, then not having it can be a deal breaker.
