Those analogies break pretty fast. Try reading a book on an LCD on a sunny day.
Depending on the kind of work you do you may not need to obsess over your tools and that obsession may actually hinder your creativity, when a base level of “fine” would do.
But that doesn't mean tools don't matter. They very much do, at everything that can be called craftsmanship.
All else being equal, I like reading books printed on good paper. But good paper will not make the story interesting and the story will still be interesting even if printed on crap paper.
Of course, if you are an author you would like to make the experience pleasurable for your reader.
BUT.
If you are obsessing with the quality of the paper that you will use to print your book to the point that it detracts you from your work, before the story is even written yet, before you even learned to write interesting stories, you are completely misplacing your focus.
