In what world are any of those things equivalent to a voluntary leisure activity? A voluntary leisure activity that can often be had for free from the library?

Do you people intentionally think of the most idiotic straw men, and then spew that forth?

Everyone has to decide for themselves if an item is worth the asking price. Don't complain about high prices, and then continue to swipe that plastic card. If you think it's too high, don't buy it.

If enough people don't buy something, the person or corporation setting the price will lower it to generate more interest.

This is a personal decision. No two people derive the same utility from the same object.
