Ha. If you really want to be cynical, the real question is why bother capturing the same "special moments" and memories that aren't really all that unique or special?
Lots of people have kids, they all have the same milestones. Who really cares what other people think about someone else's kids? My childhood photos were taken on 126, 110, or even disc! Egad, my parents must not have cared at all! They used super8 with no audio! What did I sound like? I'll never know. The tragedy and shame!!!
I don't think anyone should pay $1,k for gear they don't know how to use. They already don't know how to use their $700+ iPhone. Why make them suffer more?
A better camera makes them a better photographer like a better guitar makes me a better musician.
We choose to see things as negative neutral or positive. There is no "right" in this discussion. Just personal perspectives.
I am tired of phones too. But I don't spread my cynicism to crtiquing the choice of camera for family snapshots that suck like they always have; due to lack of vision, skill, and/or creativity.
