But not everyone is into weaving baskets from grass.
That's just it, though. When people are convinced that any kind of Arts & Crafts activity is tedious and boring, the reflexively avoid it. And the end result is a reinforced cycle of Shop Therapy, where people want new things in their lives but are too insecure about their own skills or intimidated by the process of artistic creation. So they just buy someone else's work product. Or some machine's work product. Or some AI's work product.
But if they enjoy it, do it.
In my experience, people who are hording collectibles aren't happy so much as they are remembering a time when they were happy and struggling to recreate that experience.
