It’s just typical consumerism. Most people in Western culture are brought up to believe you need to have stuff to be happy. Especially in America. You need to live in a big house with way more space than you need, then you need to fill that space with stuff. Then that stuff gets old so it needs to be replaced with new stuff every few years. The more this is perpetuated via mocking people who don’t have stuff, the better it is for companies who make stuff. A bed frame is the perfect example of stuff. The average western person believes this is a necessity even though it has no function. Especially the ones without storage. Yet if you sleep on the floor you will be mocked. People will scoff. “You’re an adult you need to buy a bed frame”. Why? Why would I spend money and consume resources on something that has absolutely zero benefit?
