It's not Crazy because you outlined all the ways it breaks or goes obsolete without a lot of maintanence...

- GPS doesn't count, although 'corrections' can be interesting.

- IDK you can totally do a workflow with a Sony camera to send to a phone/etc, may not be full-auto but I've done it.

- As a 'shooter' I'd rather get proper SD card redundancy on less-high end models than see a flash buffer for that isn't already present in how things work

- My a6000 had decent wifi speeds at the start, but it's hard to keep up with standards, also it's hard to get around the 'noise' of other wifi devices without making the camera larger or complicating the design for the sake of a wifi antenna.

- LTE is a continually moving target, adds cost for a marginal set of users that will bother to set it up.

- Everyone who's tried even a small amount of this never got far.

- Moving target. You're better off using DxO PhotoLab or Lightroom and keeping that up to date.

Mind you, this viewpoint is coming from the 'minmaxer'. Aside from my a6700 (and before that my a6000) I keep one 'main' camera as well as one or more 'cheap bodies' (i.e. store floor models or previous camera).

This makes it easier to do shots with different focal ranges without a lens change...

Pros will often have multiple bodies (but will be more discerning than 'oh hey 150$ with a lens lets goooooooo') and thus will have similar concerns...
