Yes and yes. The differences may be harder to qualify. “Better” is impossible to define. And aesthetics can’t be measured. But as Fuji has grown they’ve shifted noticeably toward a less daring and more generic approach to color science. My xpro3 and x100v produce images that look a lot more like Sony-Nikon-Fuji. My xe2 and x100t tilt more toward and old school slide film look...

2 years ago I said: "As a former XE-1 and X100 user, I prefer the overall look of my current X-T3 files. Including color."

I have to take back that statement. I agree recent Fuji sensors produce files that look generic, and the film simulations are barely noticeable anymore. The uniqueness so many people love about the original X-Pro1, X-T1, etc is gone.

So you can recreate it yourself if you wish, using your current camera

In theory you can create anything yourself.

Buy why should you put in the extra work required when you're already happy with what the camera does for you?

I have well over a decade working with various digital cameras & I'm firmly on the side of - use the equipment that produces the results you want with the least amount of work.
