It looks like a big improvement over the 4 but sadly needs active cooling or it throttles under load quickly. It has a new form factor which requires a new case too. Still there are a lot of great additions that make it a good upgrade.

For me it’s about power consumption. I wish there were more powerful arm based socs available. x86 is so inefficient compared to anything risc based that it feels wasteful.

Exactly, for me RPI was supposed to be about low power consumption. Rpi4 is stretching it already, rpi5 with cooling won't be worth it .
