My point is, it's human nature and it's the same for golfers who have nice golf clubs and golf carts; car restorers and racers; fishermen; skiers; photographers; and every other hobby you can name. You can't really change the statistics because there's really nothing wrong with them. In my own case, part of me is in all four of those categories and that's the way I want it to be and the way my available time and priorities allow things to be.
