(Lore question) How do we get new miniatures if new types of daemons can't exist?

I was talking to some folks at my LGS and brought up how I'd like there to be more unique non-monster daemons to use, like something between a Lord of Change and Pink Horrors or between a Bloodthirster and a Bloodletter. One of the guys there said that because in-universe, the factions of the setting have a set idea of what Daemons look like, that that's the only forms they can take? I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right, but he basically said that in the current time in 40k, GW can't just make a new type of daemon for each Chaos God without breaking their pre-established lore. Is that true? Honestly, it's a huge buzzkill since that basically means there's never really gonna be any *new* daemons in 40k at least, A.K.A. no new models that aren't resculpts. I'm hoping he has the lore wrong, and maybe some of y'all would be able to point to something that says otherwise.
