On the whole I tend to agree, except to say that digital encourages experimentation and honing of skills, and therefore personal gratification. This surely is not a bad thing? But measuring this by exposures made to date is odd for sure. I like to go by the type and quality of the prints I make, and even though I probably shoot less than many on this list, my printmaking has definitely increased since foresaking film....
