Where do you think precious metals come from for your electronics? Who do you think assembles your iPhone? It’s not always green energy powering the servers that provide you your social media high either.
Presumably people buy these objects because they derive some sense of pleasure while viewing/organizing them. I personally hate them and have never owned one but let’s not try and squeeze out some social commentary over a few toys.

The argument could be made that they are art but that's a hard argument to make. The only commentary on society here is the involuntary one.
