You didn't blindly upgrade to the next Pi. Not upgrading or upgrading to something you know meets your demands are the right things to do. I assume upgrading to a Pi 5 is not that for most people
In my case I need the 5 for the extra power. It will exactly meet my demands, and the 4 'only' does 90% of the time.
And if I could find something cool for the 4, I would buy the 5 immediately. But I think I need to know that I can use it for something. Otherwise I will feel bad buying the 5.
On the other hand, they're relatively cheap and it gives you a spare to tinker with, or at least that's what I told myself last week when I ordered another Pi3 since I saw they came back in stock on Digikey after all these years.
