That’s definitely one side of the equation. There are good apps out there but the signal-to-noise ratio is terrible these days. The other side is that the rate of change has decreased on the phones themselves. We used to get big new features, but phones have converged on what seems to be the ideal feature set (for now at least). New versions usually only see a slight camera improvement, incremental speed or battery improvements, and maybe a change in the camera notch/hole.
