Hoarding feels similar to over eating.
We need to eat but some people can't control the quality or quantity of food consumed.
Similarly, instead of collecting an appropriate amount of valuable and useful resources, they collect random nearly useless items and attach much value to them.
Could be a case of an ancient survival strategy that is no longer valid in the current environment.
