No one is stopping anyone from using their chair. The issue is when they leave it unattended in a community center for years and expect the volunteers there to fix it for free, and then get mad when the volunteers throw it out because it started to break and rot and they have no money to fix it and it's actively harming people who sit in it. If someone really wants to use that chair they could very easily go and locate the broken chair in the junkyard again. But nobody actually wants to do that because when you press them, they admit they're just being nostalgic and actually it's got lots of protruding rusty nails and they'll get poked if they pick it up again.
