I thought what happened was the ones who said pros couldn't use
battery-dependent cameras and didn't need meters have now retired, and the
new generation insists upon USM, multipoint metering etc.

Not necessarily. In the days before Nikon offered USM, Nikon users spent
time arguing why it wasn't such a nice feature after all and in fact was
probably inferior anyway to whatever Nikon was offering. Now the same
people claim it is indespensable. I guess such arguments are human
nature...
When you don't have a feature available, arguing against it is so much sour
grapes. Once you have it avalable, it becomes something you can reach out
and touch, and see how nice it is.
Most of this thread is based on this.
