Lets be honest too. Most of us rarely end up upgrading processors on the same motherboard. I've been building my own PCs for more decades than I'd like to admit at this point. Upgrading from a first gen Ryzen 1500x to a 5600x is really the only time I've done a significant upgrade on the same platform. I've had a few other upgrade in the past but they were more minor and because I could upgrades or upgrades on already old systems that were really budget upgrades. I'm far more likely to upgrade my GPU or even storage than I am to upgrade my CPU. By the time you can get a significant CPU improvement there's typically other improvements you want too like newer/faster ram standards, faster PCI-E/m2 slots, newer faster USB, Wi-Fi, Networking.

People argue their existence means more competition but all they've done is lower everybody's standards for years.

as it fits my use case. mATX to fit in the existing case. DDR4 to reuse the memory from the system being upgraded. If you are buying RAM to I think DDR5 makes sense.

Could you get away with a cheaper board? Sure, but you might run into VRM issues under heavy sustained loads. Stick with DDR5 if you're going for a new build; DDR4 is EOL and production is shutting down. If you're planning to upgrade your RAM in the future it might be more expensive and definitely 5-15% slower than DDR5 in SOME games.

You aren't spending $1000 each time you have to switch chipsets.
An entry level motherboard in 2010 was around $139. Today, you can easily go under $100 for the same board.
This is not the hill AMD fans should want to fall on.

Better alternative is to look into methods of upgrading to Windows 11 on computers that otherwise would not meet the spec. One quick download of the windows 11 ISO and a copy of Rufus will get you fixed right up.

And AMD had am5, am4, am3 plus, am3, am2 plus, am2, fm2, fm1, 754, and whatever else.
