Makes plenty of sense to me. For a lot of people, me included, it's easier to buy things than it is to get rid of them. Getting rid of something takes you into loss aversion[1]. Plus, objects at rest in your closet tend to remain at rest.
Basically, I find that maintaining a minimal set of stuff requires regular mental effort. So I enjoy reading about people who are especially aware of the benefits.
I imagine it's like the various weight loss tricks. If you are naturally skinny and have an ok diet, then you might say, "Why are all these people talking so much about the awesomeness of fresh vegetables? Sure, they're fine, but I don't get why people need to talk about them so much."
