Looks like you would like to price of hardware grow up. That's abnormal.
Only in PC industry new models cost more, in many other situation newer models cost even less to attract customers and reality is to cost same, because it's new standard and should replace previous.
In perfect situation if every new gen cost more we live in endless increase of price but human profit not increase with new year just like that because it's payment for new year.
I made mistake, I could bought 1.9 TB CORSAIR M500 for little more then 970 EVO Plus 1TB.
Actually it's not little more, it's like 1TB 970 PRO and I decide that's too much for me, but 1.9TB is different story.
But never mind, then I would see something else and I would wait that and then another one and endless waiting.
I pulled trigger for EVO series and that's it.
No change before PCI-E 5.0. Because performance improvement similar as HDD to SSD SATA III we will not see ever.
SATA III SSD both time is 10-12 seconds, rest of time people wait on motherboard to finish checking and on complicate motherboards it's only difference between 40 and 35 seconds is it SATA III SSD or NVMe M.2 SSD. My mobo need 30 seconds to both in perfect conditions, she boot for 35-36 seconds. Nothing can improve boot speed because exactly 30 seconds is in written in manual of motherboard.
Only manufacturers are not full to fire with everything they can on best M.2 PCI-E models.
Even of drives who reach 3500/3000 speed there is a huge space for improvement in reading, writing, copy different size of files and they left insane space for improvement even to stay in specifications of 3500/3000 random.
Then people will buy 5000/4500 Gen 4.0 speed example and speed of different and small file size will be lower then 1500-2000.
They deal among each others what to improve on their models and fastest in write speed could be in middle in read speed.
And no correct choice what is exactly best.
