This is true, but still has limits. Moving from Reaper to Ableton Live made music easier to make. But then there's the tendency to wonder if I made the wrong choice between the handful of comparable DAWs like FL Studio or BitWig. The fact that I'm absurdly productive in the one I picked can only do so much to stop that thought process that starts any time one of the others goes on sale.

Yes, there is a deep meta-skill around distinguishing "Am I seeking a better tool because it will help me solve my problem?" or "Am I seeking a better tool to avoid the fear of making difficult design choices?"
For example I got into book binding a while back and while I started freehand I quickly built a jig and it vastly improved the quality of the work.
