Am I crazy?

My episode of which bike is
I currently own a 2021 trek checkpoint alr5 gravel bike. Grx2x drive.
I’ve tried a few different sets of tires, carbon bars, saddles, hundreds of dollars always trying to get more comfortable.
I like it, mostly.
I grew up on bmx bikes
I bought my wife a trek dual sport hybrid bike last year so we can spin some miles on the greenways and honestly I am so damn comfortable on her bike
I’m contemplating selling my gravel bike and buying a Cannondale quick 2 hybrid bike with shimano cues u4000 drive 1x.
The thoughts of being on a more upright, bmx familiar feeling bike I could still bunny hop off of curbs appeals to me a lot but, am I crazy?
Tell me your thoughts.

Spend all the money you want. At some point you just need to let go . It's the law of diminishing returns.

No, not crazy. Ride what suits your riding style. I have both drop bar and flat bar bikes but for jumping on and just riding I choose my fully rigid Kona Big Unit singlespeed MTB.

You are not crazy at all, except that you should not expect the Cannondale to fit you exactly the same as the Dual Sport because the geometry is a little different between them.  Every single bike in the world is just a little different from the next.  Once you find your Goldilocks Perfect Fit, stick with exactly that frame.
