Discussion of housing as an investment without also taking into account that you live in your house is pretty silly. There’s really nothing like owning your own home. What other investment options allow me to grow food to eat in it?

For some people. Others really don't care one way or another about a sense of home-ownership, they just buy because "it's what you're supposed to do, financially".
