Is the Toyota Fortuner outdated because of the lack of features in comparison to rivals?

While the Toyota Fortuner is a hugely popular nameplate and is sharply priced, it has been often criticised to lag behind its rivals in terms of features and technology. It has been updated over time, but many think it still doesn't have the equipment level you would expect in its price range. Infotainment systems are typically more advanced from competitors, sound quality is better, you have more comprehensive driver assistance features, maybe a panoramic sunroof or some ventilated seats. Interior of the Fortuner is functional, but shares the same 'feel' as its TCI brethren; on that note, the Fortuner is one of the more basic interiors you'll find in this segment, compared to some rivals. As a result, the Fortuner has become the center of a debate over whether Toyota is hitching its cart to the Fortuner’s dependability and toughness while failing to ride the trends of the modern automotive industry. The Fortuner's simplicity is its charm, and it's legendary reliability, say supporters, whereas critics argue that at this price, you shouldn't have to sacrifice features. With even budget cars these days brimming with technology, is the Fortuner's lack of features in an era where even budget cars are brimming with technology, or is there value in its no frills approach?
