I think your showing some bias here, calling them shiny toys and suggesting it's about self esteem. People enjoy different things, some people are a bit nerdy about cars, a lot here about bikes. Just because that kind of things excites them and not you, it isn't a reason for you to denigrate their choices.I don't begrudge others their shiny toys but I often think it's rather pathetic to invest your self esteem in such things.
"It's got 500 BHP, 0-60 in 5 seconds, does 200 leptons when I unleash...."
Do they think the same way about their boiler, washing machine, freezer?
I would like to think that there are not many who show the same sort of excitement about white goods, but there are certainly a lot who would get rather excited about a new and upgraded power tool or new computer. Each to their own.
