For low initial cost hybrids it is just spending the least you can to keep it safely rideable and when it starts getting expensive time to move on. Good pedals and a saddle you like can move to a different bike but certain other components might not be worth it and putting that money towards the current bike will not really add the value that will make it all back at the end.

Also moving accessories is fine, lights and bells and stuff like that can sometimes move to a different bike. I have lights I move between bikes frequently.
