>>3405913Well people collect toys and models and put those on shelves to appreciate and have other people squee and admire when entertaining visitors.
This would not be a ".....popular......" remark to make on say, /toy/, but just my two cents.
I suppose the only argument to make then is that one sees a collection of tools on a shelf that are probably still in usable condition, yet are only there for their aesthetic:
>The "why not use it; it seems a shame to just shelve it." view.Toys and dolls and models are not tools, so any reason to keep them should logically not exist, yet the truth is the reverse. They _only_ have their aesthetic, meaning old cameras superceded by superior mediums and sensors have less and less useful purpose with time, leaving only their aesthetic.
Which, as with toys, gives them reason to admire them on a shelf.
