With Digital cameras your image sensor can burn out or get enough bad

who replaced a camera due to this problem.

No, but it may account for why a digital camera becomes "obsolete" faster.
The CCD or CMOS sensors are under constant improvement, and not just in
terms of the number of pixels or resolution. Efficiency of converting
light to electrical energy, power drain, sensitivity, etc.

Sorta analogous to new or improved film types developed for older, film
based cameras.

You are absolutely correct, but if you are happy with the quality of
your old camera, when a new improved camera comes out, it does not mean
you have to upgrade. You will continue to get the same quality you have
come to love and enjoy.

Computers are always upgrading their CPU's, video cards etc. It seems
that the state of the art computer is replaced with a new state of the
art computer every 30 days, but I only replace my computer when it will
no longer do what I want. I probably get a new computer every 5 yrs or so.
