Sometimes you get around that for longer by upgrading to the highest possible configuration on that platform. Often for cheap second hand.

I replaced my 2017 Ryzen 1800x with a Ryzen 5800x3D recently which is supported on my x370 Motherboard. Huge upgrade, no platform change required. I think I can wait for DDR5 and a new motherboard for years to come.
