If some rich guy buys a dream bike and discovers that he does not like the bike or riding and sells it, I can see that happening, but that is not the same as someone buying and keeping expensive bikes and not riding them, just like some guy from Baltimore I met, a businessman who had a staggering guitar collection (I met him when I sold to him one of my axes), he asked me to play it for him, to hear how it sounded, because he could not. The guy was into guitar porn, but I know nobody into bike porn like that.
Got it. Yes, since I imagine that people that you bike with are true to cycling, there are ton of people that are buying because, " They want to get into it." Some have deeper pockets than commitment.
Here's an example:
