I'm locked in, I have to force myself to not want the "new" phone because mine is "old." I use quotes because a 4 to 6 month phone in reality is not old. But at the rate new releases come, it seems it. What I'm saying is, people who are not interested in this thing would say who cares, someone who is invested in this thing can get frustrated that another new thing comes and sometimes you just can't get it. BTW, I'm agreeing with everything you're saying. If you want it, get it, if you can. Sometimes you might want it, might not be able to. Stuff happens.
