I think like many entry level cameras, the more you learn to use them, the more features you will want or think you "need". There are exceptions of course. One of my favorite wedding photographers has used his Canon 5D for more than 12 years and says he has no plans to change. He appears to be successful and has many youtube videos expressing why he does not need newer gear after trying them. I agree with much of what he says, but the lure of new gear can be strong! lol
The lure of anything new can be hard to overcome over your existing equipment, I think a lot of it has to do with complacency, when a person uses the same equipment every day, he/she tends to become tired of it. It's not because the equipment is performing worse, it's because the user yearns for something new.
