I think there is a very large amount of truth in this. However we as mature or long term users of the brand also need to be aware that we need to look forward and embrace change.
There will be many new changes coming in the next 5 years so that most mechanical parts on cameras will be removed. For example the mechanical shutter will be retired as the global shutter (electronic on/off switching of the sensor and saving to memory card) takes over and becomes cheaper to implement into cameras.
I have no doubt that in a very few years the only home for a pre-AF-S lens will be on a 2019 or earlier Nikon. Although a Pre-AI lens can be used on some fairly recent bodies I get the impression that Nikon would rather one didn't do it.
