And none of these personalities are printing their work, they are just using them for social.
Well, 5-6 megapixel will produce a decent 8x10 print, but why would I care? Even at the time I strongly preferred my then-wife's 35 mm zoom P&S (DX coded film speed without manual override was its only major failing), but she took that with her -- apparently she could see it was a better camera, too.
I think the "they" is mostly "personalities" trying to create a new trend or ride the wave of one that's semi-started. I've seen quite a bit of that as well but I bet its because I've watched two or three of them and now the darn algorithm keeps pushing them at me periodically.
I have 2 ancient 6mpx Canon Elph's that a group of us have used for a "cheap camera challenge" that, I have to admit, was kinda fun. In a "how can I make some mediocre images that I'll never really do anything with" kind of way. That said, I can't imagine making something like that my everyday camera. And none of these personalities are printing their work, they are just using them for social.
Maybe I need to buy a dozen Nikon D1's while the price as cheap, and make a few videos promoting them as the next big thing.

I basically downgraded my two favorite Pentax cameras to older versions.
Hmm - updated list of medium format:
Rollei 2.8E
Tele-Rollei
Kodak Chevron
Lomo Belair X6/12
Lomo LCA 120
Mamiya RZ67
Vermeer 6x18 pinhole (technically medium format because it uses 120 roll film).
My Pentax 67II was sold for two reasons. One was financial, as I was using it to fund another camera. Secondly- it wasn't a reliable camera. Didn't like cold weather. I got the version 1 a short while after and its been rock solid reliable. As for the Pentax 645N, I sold it mainly for financial reasons. I at the time was hoping to get a Mamiya 645AF camera to replace it, but then all the cheap options for that dried up. Its become too expensive to purchase at this time. So I've been without a good 645 camera for quite some time. I sold off a digital camera recently, which allowed me to get this older 645 camera for half of what I sold the 645N for. I don't love the older version as much, but it will do. Id rather use the N model.I understand downgrading from a Pentax 67II to a 67–repairers for the 67II are more difficult to find. What do you see as the benefit of a 645 over a 645N or NII. (I’m genuinely curious, I’ve never owned or handled the 645 line.)

Time to look into 6x6 cameras.
I just sold a 6x6 camera. I dont really like the square format that much.
6x9 is my favorite but there are very limited modern handheld cameras for the format. One of these days I’ll get one of the big Fujis. 6x7 is a little too close to square for my preference (and 6x6 is even closer…) so mostly I shoot 6x9 on a view camera and 6x4.5 on a handheld since I prefer stretched rectangles.
