"Which is not free but hardly going to break most people" - most people make ~$4500 a month or less (pre taxes). $1550 is a big chunk of cash for most people.

Depends on context.

You can get a reliable used car for ~12k. Look at how many people spend 2+K more than that.

Owning a VR headset does not (yet) act as a prerequisite to get most jobs.

Spending more than ~12k stops being about basic transportation.

AKA if you buy a car for 20k vs 12k the extra 8k was not needed.
