I just never have encountered worthwhile shooting conditions (situations where your subject wouldn't need to be sacrificed for the benefit of using up said dynamic range) where 1 or even 2 EV more dynamic range would have meant a difference...


Just take a look at the shadows of this ISO 100 picture from 5DSR:

The original Canon image embedded in the RAW denotes a perfect exposure to keep the highlights at the left side. But it is not a realistic picture as our eye would have seen it at the place. Processed with ACR, the minor shadows recovery required (not HDR, only to get a realistic look) and the right side turns ugly noisy.

Not a photographer error. Not a scene requiring multiple exposures. Only a Sony sensor (the 5D4 is better, but is not yet there) and you are done with a perfect single photo. With the 5DS you are only left with the option to not print a huge poster from it.

"Photography" means "paint with light". In no way a camera which can record a gradient of 14.5 EV of light will not be a much better tool compared to another recording a mere 12 EV. And yes, at high ISO/sports all current sensors perform similarly. But many people mostly shoot at low ISO, using the full sensor potential. Remember: "paint with light" (each time the ISO doubles, the sensor is tuned to saturate with half the light).
