Because how others spend their time and money is not in some bubble that does not affect the environment and the economy which also affects me. (I am also homeless in a minivan so watching someone carry around a $6000 (mines the lenses!) camera for funsies just signals that they are not seeing the suffering of the world. And people who cannot see the suffering of the world,c an they be that creative? These people are also traveling in motor homes complaining about the climate change induced heat. And flooding the internet with crappy photos just makes it harder for people to find good photos and uses more carbon to store their 90MB images in the cloud. Photography is just consumerism now. They care more about the technical than technique. And to make a further point, they talk more about their camera and lenses then they do their photographs. Also, I am the kind of assh0le that tells them to their face what is wrong with their photographs and the conversation ends. So they see my judgement. I no longer own a camera but for my phone. And with that phone I take pictures that people print and hang. The creativity is in composition and subject, not in detail and pixels.
