More the former than the latter, because I have the same attitude towards the software, too. I don't need to be able to run the newest stuff because the oldest stuff works just fine. I'm not doing CPU or GPU intensive stuff, and I try to run lightweight software that doesn't bog down my computer.

I can absolutely see how that would be different if I were gaming, video editing, or doing any sort of data modeling.

I tend to see others in gaming upgrading all the time and I'm fine with most mid-range stuff for anywhere between 6 and 10 years, depending on advanced in tech. I'm currently behind because of raytracing and DLSS becoming a thing only like a year or two after building my current rig; but I don't need that stuff (it's not even mind meltingly good anyway; I've compared stuff side by side with RT on and off between mine and another machine and couldn't really see a difference unless it was with full RT reflections) and most new things still run acceptable for me.

RT isn't worth it unless you're already upgrading IMO

Then why're you even commenting in an area that you don't partake in? This is like saying "I don't get why people buy sports cars" in a forum of racing enthusiasts. Or saying "I don't see the need for cast iron woks" when you're happy to have boiled pasta every day.
