Some people care about them. Personally I resent all this signaling because I just want to use my nice phone but everyone else is always "oooo you're so rich, look at your nice phone" Or, alternatively, since I'm currently on an iphone SE, "oooo, what is wrong with you, why don't you upgrade to a new phone?!" Another comment mentions functional utility. Put me in the camp that resents the desire for functional utility being misconstrued as social signaling
