Amateur photographers often cover a lot more types of photography than pros, which makes GAS even worse.
A pro might specialize in sports photography and buy some nice long lenses with fast autofocus. Or they might specialize in portraiture and get a nice wide-open 90mm equivalent. Or architectural photography, and get a tilt-shift lens.
For some reason, a lot of amateur photographers will dabble in many different types of photography, each with their own demands on equipment.
