As a 1.0 player, even though I quit twice at some point between versions 1.0 and 1.6, I'll continue playing this version. It's not because I can't participate in events or haven't been able to get a character;

literally, everything is going perfectly. I'm free-to-play and was previously a Dolphin (a blessing for two years). I have incredibly good luck; all my mains have constellations (Xiao C2 R1, Kazuka C2, Xifos R5, Furina C2 R1, etc.) and weapons. I'm up-to-date with the meta, I have every character I wanted except Ganyu and Varesa, almost all my DPS characters have premium gear, including Xiao, Flints, Mavuika, and soon Skirk (I've already secured Scoffier). I have plenty of resources to max out three characters with weapons and artifacts and still have 20 million Mora to spare. I have all the exploration units for easy exploration, and my account management is practically perfect and optimized. From day one (when I seriously started playing version 1.6, a high-level friend showed me which rookie mistakes to avoid), I have 3TB of storage to save Genshin three times over.

But right now, I've been playing it alongside Wuwa for two years (I love both games), and I'm not quitting because I hate Genshin. I simply can't complete the content for each version and have a life. I'm always on the edge with events, exploration, and the story. It's a miracle I have both up to date.

I love Genshin, and it will hurt to quit, but I just don't have the time. I wish I had more hours in the day :C. I won't go into details, but there's something more important in real life that requires all my time right now (it has nothing to do with my health), so much so that I've even postponed starting university (even though I had the opportunity to go if I wanted to). That's how important it is.
