Why Don't More People Love Audio?

Can anyone explain why high end audio seems to be forever stuck as a cottage industry? Why do my rich friends who absolutely have to have the BEST of everything and wouldn't be caught dead without expensive clothes, watch, car, home, furniture etc. settle for cheap mass produced components stuck away in a closet somewhere? I can hardly afford to go out to dinner, but I wouldn't dream of spending any less on audio or music.

Different strokes for different folks.
No sense in getting offended or attempting to look down on others because they don't want to come to your party.
They are having their own parties and apparently it's working just fine for them.
Live and let live.

It's simply a matter of preference and resource allocation.
The same can be said of anything.
Why don't more people love yoga?
Why don't more people love French cuisine?
Why don't more people love hunting?
Everyone can't love everything.

I've talked to number of my friends that love music and it's simply that they have other things that they are more involved. Many see it as a bit obsessive as well. Many have heard really nice systems and can appreciate the hobby but still don't feel the need to be that involved. These are people I go to plenty of concerts with and talk music with. They simply have other interests or varied interests. These days most people don't have the time to have more than one hobby.
