Simple, because there are markets for high end stuffs, and people who can afford them.
For example, camera, why some of them costs 100k+ (Yes I'm not exaggerating, go look up Hassleblad) and some of them costs less than rm500?
They do the same thing, capturing images. But the output will of course be different, some people are satisfied with the photos that are taken with the rm500 camera, and some doesn't because they wants something better, so naturally they opt for a more expensive solution that they can afford.

One more thing to bear in mind, not everyone can, or able to appreciate the output of a high end stuff.

Prolly same thing goes to ICE, tho I'm not an ICE enthusiasts. (Happy with the original Civic FD2 sound system)
I absolutely have the money or budget to throw in some decent ICE investment but I didn't, because I don't see that to be a necessity, yet.
And probably cause I don't sit in my car all days so I'd rather invest in some headphone that I can use in home etc.

Still, I don't see anyone should have a problem when they see others people spending a fortune for their hobby. As long as they are happy, why do you care?
Don't even think of asking them because, it's really simple, because they can.

Offtopic lol.

Oh and, calling people who can spend and enjoy their live stupid, doesn't sounds right. It's their financial power that allowed them to spend, so they don't need to be so cheapskate to mix and match in order to achieve the same result as a high end stuff does. I don't think anyone got the right to label them "Stupid".
