The Sensors are almost all identical "with an overly digital rendering" and nothing really evolves for more than 12 years

This strikes me as an odd statement. I'd say the reverse is true. Early sensors were plagued with all kinds of "digital" artifacts. Weird 'jaggies', color shifts, harshly clipped highlights, banding in shadows, hot pixels, black pixels, banding in certain artificial light, etc. None of that is natural as we see it.

Modern sensors now produce much more 'true to life' capture as humans see it than those early sensors ever did. On every metric that's measurable (besides personal preference). I'm not sure how that can be called "overly digital rendering"?  Would future improvements to sensors be considered a bad thing then?  How do you make what we have now look "less digital"?

How users prefer to process that data and present it...that's another debate altogether.
