Default too many bells and whistles ?

Having recently up dated my kit I was struck by the number of "features" I don't use or need.
Having used Canon 1 Ds series for many years my ideal would be the 1Ds Mk 3 with the 5d Mk4 sensor, digi 6 engine and Dx 11 focusing . I don't need all the GPS, wi fi, video, and all the rest the marketing people say we need.
My oldest camera (that still works) was bought from Woolies in 1961 for 2/6d
(that's 15p to you youngsters) it is a half frame fixed lens plastic camera, no batteries no metering and it still takes images.
Will my 5d Mk4 still be going after the same time?
Or the lenses for it, ( I have had 2 Canon 24 /70 2.8 L lenses loose the ability to auto focus over the years)
