The point is that those items make more money than they cost and that explains why everyone has them. It's not because they are so fun or make life worth living. It's because they give you access to a job. Same reason a homeless guy buys a suit instead of his last dinner. The suit is an investment: it makes him money. He doesn't enjoy the suit.
