I guess I have more or less the opposite perspective. I don't like collecting physical things (harder to store and organize, a pain when moving apartments), although I do have spares for a lot of things that I expect to eventually break
That is a completely valid option and something I completely respect, a staggering amount of items can be a hindrance. But now, capitalism unfortunately provides us with devices unfit for being "everything" machines. Thus in a socialist future more reliable and better devices ought to be made, ones that are not held back by planned obsolescence, shitty software and generally the profit motive.
Yeah, I don't really buy any "new" tech any more because it's extremely expensive and likely not long-lasting. My phones (thanks to LineageOS) and laptops were all bought used and are about a decade old at this point

Yeah, I've noticed that the similar thoughts I had were leading me down a path of hoarding

Same with me, I love my Thinkpad X61. Beautiful little thing.
