I don' understand why is concept is so hard to grasp by so many.
In my area, bikes over $5,000 are very common. So, unlike the person you quoted above, a person here might have to go above $12,000 to really get that "club" feeling. And, I just do not see much of that mentality around my area. Maybe where that person is, maybe there is some truth o those feelings and thoughts. But, I would hate for a good discussion to devolve into that rabbit hole of an argument.
Like you, I buy what I like to ride. It is an easy concept to grasp, if ones mind is open to the possibility.
