Better is better.

My question would be: is this an arbitrary "go faster" thing or does this affect the vast majority of real world use cases? The price/performance curve isn't a straight line - it's exponential. That means the cost even for a small improvement at the top is very high and may not be worth it at all, making this very much a rich person's  0th World Problem.

This isn't surprising considering Samsung's slow camera upgrades over the years. It was bound to catch up with them at some point.
