Are bad rooms keeping the hobby alive?


Having just set up a dedicated room I have been thinking about rooms alot lately and although my room is not perfect, the upgrade bug is farther at bay then ever before so I wonder, do bad rooms keep this hobby alive and somewhat "well"?
There are so many who switch gear so often and when you look at there rooms if pictured many have what appear to be serious issues with the room and set up of speakers. So I assume these folks are more likley to chase a sound that they simply cant acheive as long as the room is holding them back........but this constant buying and selling is great for audio as a whole. So just curious of what others think, cheers.

I dont believe for a minute that I will never upgrade or desire to but there are several threads where I did swear to not do anything until my room happens and I kept that promise.
I am just thinking outloud as usual that many buy wires, pre's, amp's and so on in hopes of over powering what they dont understand is the major issue, that the room or placement or combination of a few issues keeps them in a state of dis-pleasure and system flux....but that is good for business and it trickles down to us unable to afford many new retail prices, no matter how much I would like to support helpful and kind dealers.
