Would we ever have more non-destructive Photoshop with dynanic or "smart" masks?

We don't have any improvements in Photoshop layer system  for a decade alredy.   I wonder is it something  that's considered  set and finished  and nothing extra  to  desire?    And from now on it would only  be all those AI toys  I personally have zero use off.

  Wouldn't it be cool  if we have something like anchors from Substance Painter at least.     A separate mask stacks .   Smart masks   being calculated  on the fly  from input of several layers  .  Maybe node based something  complementing layer system.

I recently have a strong urge  to abandone Photoshop and switch to Affinity Photo  because its layer linking system , especially "pixel content" link   and erase blending mode allowing  to do dynamicly calculating  mask stacks  , as well as live filters    altogether make it much more non-destructive than Photoshop.
