There are users who are interested primarily in the product -- such folks trade pictures and critique each others' photography. There are users who are interested primarily in the equipment -- such folks get excited over changeovers in production dates and the like. There are straight collectors who allow stuff to accumulate on their shelves. There are historical researchers who are interested in the interplay of economics, corporate strategies, politics, marketing ploys, and engineering as well as in the usages for the gear or its technical specifications.

As I've gotten older, I've found myself lacking a bit of the bounce I use to have, so I've just specialized in the "wine" end of things ...
