I think this is mostly just because stuff used to be valuable but now is not, because of advances in automation and production, and people who grew up in the old paradigm can't wrap their heads around it. You can buy a radio for the cost of a single meal at a restaurant. You can buy a washer and dryer for the cost of one month's rent. Time and space is expensive, possessions are cheap, but it used to be the other way around.
