It is a common attitude and one I held myself until recently.
The problem with analogue consoles is recall.
You can do it but it isn't like opening a 300 track session in Pro Tools and instantly having access to everything.
With a Duality it can take an hour to fully recall all the settings on the desk.
Also, what do if you need immersive audio?
Duality supports (and the bus compressor is in) 5:1 but if you are working 7.1.4 or 9.1.6 you are kinda stuffed.
The S6 (and all Eucon surfaces) work with 2 DAWs or workstations at once so you can have Media Composer (AVID's video editor) and Pro Tools locked for film mixes on a dubbing stage. Or Logic and Pro Tools locked together if you are a composer who writes in Logic and mixes in Pro Tools (very common workflow- I work this way as do a number of film, TV & game composers).
The configurations are endless and the workflow is fantastic.
It is very, very slick.
I love the Duality- when I worked at SSL I would try to spend most of my lunch hours in the Duality room.
But if I was looking for a large format console right now the only one I'd be looking seriously at is the RND 5088.
Seriously spendy and not remotely suited to audio post production workflows.
If I had a two room complex with a share live room I'd have an S6 in the audio post room and a 5088 in the music mixing room and then never leave the studio.
But alas, that isnt my reality and when you need to be flitting between 5 different sessions a day then a Eucon surface is the only thing that makes sense to me. I've had the dock for the last 3 years and looking at the S4 but they are still hella expensive an 8 channel system is £25k versus a Dock and S1 plus 2 iPads for under 5k.
You don't have nearly as much configurability but for most of what I do it is probably ok.
I wish Avid did a 10k controller/console- 24 faders, 48 knobs, master section. I'd be all over it.

How many Metal Zones did you have to trade for that?
