I wonder how much of this increase is due to social media. 10-15 years ago, people would buy graphics cards to play the latest games on. Epeen was a thing, but limited to just some text in your forum signature. Now, it seems like half the reason people buy any sort of "status" item is for the clout on Insta. It was eactly the same thing with the PS5 2 years ago - people clamouring for a useless object just to show other people they have it.
