Totally with you on this. I've had the same Devinci Troy frame which I bought new in 2016. Over time I chucked in a cane creek shock, coil sprung Pikes and a few bits and pieces here and there. I recently had the opportunity to buy a new bike but, having test ridden it, couldn't see how it was worth the money over my existing bike which I've put so much into getting set up just the way that I like. I think we're reaching the top of the S-curve for mountain bikes - designers are searching for that last 5% now but I doubt we'll see any huge innovations in 5-10 years time in comparison to the last 10.
