I for sure agree that plenty of current use-cases are solvable by non-frontier models.

However, you said “new versions with features that nobody asked for”, and I would prefer that you concede the point before shifting to arguing a new point.

What customers are asking for is smarter models. Because the tasks that only smarter models can solve are higher value, higher margin, than the tasks that non-frontier models can solve.
