They are, the "S" models are so boring, never crossed my mind to upgrade from my X, and what's worst is that I don't think we'll see a new design, only that 3 camera crap.
I'd argue the S models are the better model of any changed design. The build quality refined, bugs and issues ironed out, upgraded components and features. The none S model is the cash grab from early adopters. The S model is for those who wait to get the same device with more features.

So every other year is a cash grab lol?

Personally, I mostly agree with you; I’m on the S cycle, or at least was. 4s/5s/6s... but still on 6s rn. But I have friends who thought I was crazy, they bought 5/6/7. Couldn’t wait for a new generation, with little to no interest in the more refined “s” track that I much preferred.

People like different things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
