Battery tech and energy efficiency is the reason why we can't have new shiny things?

New camera comes out, it is almost identical to previous version and even has some drawbacks when compared (worse ISO performance, the necessity of a fan etc).
This is also the reason why we don't see revision of those cutesy cameras that were made close to a decade ago and now fetch high premiums on the second hand market.. it is simply impossible to improve upon them. I think we are at a roadblock as far as technology goes unless more energy efficient batteries comes to market and from my understanding all that chatter about "better batteries" aka solid state is just a pipe dream, a hoax intended to push the green shift narrative a little longer so that big corporations can get subsidies as long as possible.
In short, any camera made the last couple of years will probably be up to date for a long time.
