Elektron Musical Instruments

I've got an inquiry, off topic...

Why are people so interested in what other folks use to get their music 
done?  I've never understood this one... well, that's not entirely 
true, I thought like this eaaaaaarly on when I had no idea what 
anything was, but pretty quickly it became clear that most of the tools 
available are insanely powerful, and as long as you're pretty good 
about doing a bit of demo use and manual reading pre purchase, you'll 
be amply enabled.  So, since then, I've just looked at how I'm 
producing right now, what seems to be a barrier, and I find software or 
kit to facilitate that.

Occasionally, I've hoped for 'inspiring' gear, and bought something 
somewhat randomly.  This only worked with the Machinedrum, for me.

Is it really a goal for so many people to be cover musicians?  Wanting 
that specific synth with the hopes of getting that specific sound?  Is 
that the case?

I really am sincerely baffled by the whole kit list mindset.  Why do 
people care?
