It seems
odd that you and other people have
no interest in what makes a bicycle (
any bicycle) better in a practical/rational way.

It's quite fine that people are different and people are quite free to buy any bicycle they want. It's just not that interesting.

quite a lot to like about the Rivendells!)

If somebody can make a rational argument about why the Rivendells are better in a rational/practical way (probably
easy to do) or why that advantage is worth the cost, I'd be interested in hearing it. The fact that some people justify buying a Rivendell (or any bicycle) merely because they can afford it
isn't interesting.

Fortunately, there are
alternatives to the LHT! One
bad thing about the LHT is that many people appear to think it's the
only thing!
