How is it arrogant? He's honestly asking. There might be good reason for using a digital solution, such as keeping valuable equipment intact..

Your last sentence there made me think of an old Welle: Erdball song…

“Es gibt kein Kompromiss / Es zählt nur ja und nein / Wir sehn wies wirklich ist / Wir denken digital”

I too am an amateur/prosumer photographer who uses an entirely digital process. But tech has its weaknesses, especially in photography -- digital tech still can't replicate a lot of what analog can do, and its important to embrace that.

That $4000 mirrorless still can't replicate the dynamic range of 35mm film. Photoshop still can't replicate the contrasty reds of Velvia film. And so on...
