Good video, speaking truth. ND filters, tripods, expensive lenses just opens new doors within photography. They're all tools that allow you to create a specific look that's otherwise unachievable. On the other hand, minimizing and handicapping your equipment forces you to get creative and think more in order to make your photos stand out. Less equipment helps you hone your fundamentals of being a photographer.
I've been filming weddings with the Canon R6 for about 3 years now. Everything including audio, story and narrative, pacing, professionalism and understanding how to be a good wedding vendor, is top notch, but my picture quality and colors aren't, and I can't seem to dial in the look that I want because of the lack of enough dynamic range, causing my log images to fall apart, especially in darker situations. I used the Sony fx3 twice in the last 2 weeks, and the picture quality is amazing. It has a about 3-4 more usable stops of dynamic range, giving the image such a better roll-off and professional look. It is the gear. It's annoying that you have to cut your teeth with gear that doesn't work as well, but once you understand how to use that gear to the absolute most of its capability, when you move to the better piece of equipment, you know how to maximize it.
