I hate to admit it, but some aesthetic factors creep into my desire for a camera. With the X100v, VI, X-T50, X-T5, and definitely the X-T10, the first thing that fascinated me was the size. and, yes, the look. and, the tactile dials. And, definitely having a tilt screen instead of a fixed or flip screen.
Those things are arguably disconnected from the image output, but it made it easier for me to give up other cameras.
You don't need to justify yourself, I have no business case other than I do what I damn well please and part of the enjoyment for me is trying new stuff or in my case going backwards and trying old stuff too! I too am a serial owner, if you buy something and use if for 3 months to a year and then turn around and sell it for a $100 loss thats way better than renting.
Possibly upgrade to the xt-20 or xt-30s if you liked the xt10. They are much faster than the 10 series and the sensor IQ difference is pretty negligible. Had the xt20 for years and was always happy (had the 50 touit attached always). Now going back to Fuji w the GFX 50r. Found two GF lenses that got me into GFX! <3
That perfectly captures the business sense for me. Trading gear is like renting. I lose less by buying and selling than buying and keeping.

'Artistic Colour' Lol
Would that be the colours of Impressionism,pointilism, or Mondrian?
Do people think that someone who has five systems is to be admired? Apart from the dealers of course.
