Speaking of reality, I think some people may need to face reality that brand new L lenses and cutting edge FF cameras may not fit in their budget. There's no shame in running a crop system or using older EF lenses or even going with a DSLR. There are plenty of ways to enjoy photography for low cost in 2021. Demanding that a brand new pro FF system be "affordable" is probably not realistic.

my D30 costing me $2000 20 years ago would be $16,000 in today's dollars

I got my 5d 4 years after introduction for $1000 and used it for 5 years and sold it for $500.  That is $100/year !!!!

Moore's law isn't completely applicable, but we've come a long way
