People collect things. It is status to have many things that you can share. You do not collect because you need to use a book or a game or a computer program.
You also never know when you need a book. If you have 1000 text books in your collection and you need to look into two of them every ten year then it was rational to have the collection but not rational to buy 1000 text books.
