'Fixed' seems to mean 'effectively decreasing by 4-8%/year' these days.

Just walk in to the boss and say "I need an extra $500 this week to cover expenses and a new camera." and see how far that goes. Then say "Next week I will let you know what I need".

True,
My father bought a nice ranch in AZ for $8,000 with a house and built a new house all on a teacher's salary.
When he go too old to run it he sold it for 3.5 million. How many starting out teachers on a one income family and no assets could do this today?

One possible reason is they lack the self confidence to do it their own way. The need that validation from others that they are doing the right thing. So if you do something different it threatens their value system.

#2 Electronic aperture control and no external aperture ring on the lens.
That is not usually an issue for still photography.
People who started with real movie film and now use video have a habit to do "fade to black" or "fade to white" with an aperture change instead of with post production software. They don't do (or cannot do, due to camera constraints) run-and-gun aperture adjustments with auto exposure, either. So there are still ciné lenses and a few Leica Micro 4/3 lenses that have "step-less" aperture control (no detents) for these purposes. Chances are, if you've earned the chops to do work that requires that, you can afford the right stuff. Or your production company can afford to rent it...

Whining itself wins...it's a thing now...everywhere.
The baby boomers adopted it...the WW2 crowd tolerated it...and now it is taught as a way of life...in schools.
Everything is a complaint now.
Statistically...everyone in the US is walking around with two hams under each arm complaining about no bread.

Got my coffee and apple pie, UHH forum, D750 nearby; nothing to whine about, but considering wining when my wife comes home tonight...

The fact that Olympus is now OMS. The whingers are still moaning about the change and whining that the OM1 is too expensive, the OM5 doesn't actually have all the features of the OM1 at a reduced cost, the 90mm f3.5 macro IS isn't a 100mm f2.8 - oh and it is too expensive. No one, I repeat, no one is forced to purchase OMS products: so if you don't like them, change to Nikon, Canon, Sony or Panasonic, just stop whinging and whining. No one ever said M43 has to be cheap, or weigh the same as a helium filled ballon.
