Yesterday's model railway people have become today's adult Lego people.
I think Lego for adults have been a thing for a while, it occupies a space in-between model rail and big puzzles. I remember the Taj Mahal set was one I saw as a kid that looked really cool but was very expensive.
Yeahhhhhh. They way I rationalize that is that this is plastic that adults intend to keep for their entire lives and that they're starting to use recycled plastic bricks. Still bad though.
I want it very very bad. I yearn for that hotel but I also don't know where I would assemble it.
Lego is shifting its marketing because of this cultural perception around toys and "manchildren" and actively promoting products like that to adults.

I feel like as far as bad plastic things go, the many-times reusable bricks that will last for decades are pretty low on the list
