I beg to differ. I think the refresh brings pretty significant updates. I actually think the interior has improved aesthetically with stitching on the dash. Plus, I like the new steering wheel better than the previous one. And the bigger screen looks great.
Also, one of the requirements for my next car is Apple Carplay. I was actually leaning toward the Accord for that reason but now that it'll be offered on the Legacy, this changes things. Plus, it sounds like the headunit will come with a faster processor. The headunit in my Crosstrek is painfully slow!
I think the changes for the refresh is enough for it to stay competitive. Of course, it could use more HP but I think the power is sufficient. To each their own.
