That's a downside of physical, not an advantage.

It's both an upside and a downside depending on perspective.

From a value perspective, it's an upside just ask the art-scene.

That's not an upside. That's a downside that got parlayed into an upside.

Again it depends on the perspective. To those who stand to benefit it's an upside. Just like those who benefit from stock or owning art which has increased in value.
