I can see how that works for you, but it’s not a given. With the exception of software developers, creative professionals really don‘t make that much money (unless they’re famous), and upgrading also brings a lot of inconveniences (software that no longer works, ports that no longer come with your computer) that incur extra costs (new software and the time to learn it, dongles). My friend edits her movies on a 2012 laptop, my other friend records her album on a 2012 laptop. Graphic designers around here often buy the 2015 or earlier macbooks second hand, because of the useful ports and the keyboards that don’t break.
